They are responsible for integrating‚ processing‚ and coordinating Sensory data and motor commands the central nervous system‚ which interprets sensory input and carry information to maintain homeostasis. CNS can’t be regenerate because a CNS consists of the spinal cord that mean if it’s break the spinal cord is break also. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves

Exercise No. Respiratory System I. Introduction Oxygen is a very important element which our body needs. Without oxygen life is not possible without oxygen which helps in producing energies that our body cells need. But‚ how do we acquire this oxygen needed by the body? It is by the process called Respiration. Respiration is a process of taking in and out of air from the body. There are two kinds of respiration called cellular respiration and external respiration.
