Page 1 of 5 The Brain and the Nervous System The human brain and the nervous system are essential for human life. They run the autonomic and conscious processes of the body. All of the body organs and processes independent that not conscious of are controlled by the brain. Being one of the most important of the body when issues there must be immediate solutions or the entire body will shut down. The brain is fragile and has huge functions in the body so it must be taken care of‚ but if not

If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the functions of your body‚ then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from it to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord‚ which runs from the brain down through the back and contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body‚ the brain tells the body how to react. For example‚ if you accidentally

The Nervous System The nervous system is the most complex part of the body‚ as they govern our thoughts‚ feelings‚ and bodily functions. It is an important factor in science because it can lead to new discoveries for cures or diseases. The studies of the nervous system helped lower death rates from heart disease‚ stroke‚ accidents‚ etc. The nervous system is a network of neurons (nerve cells) that that sends information to the brain to be analyzed. Neurons live both in and outside the central nervous

Nervous systems consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves) Brain is divided into 3 major areas 1. Cerebrum Pairs of lobes 2. Brain stem 3. Cerebellum Four lobes are: Frontal-largest lobe‚ concentration‚ abstract thought‚ information storage‚ memory and motor function‚ Broca’s area (motor control of speech)‚ affect‚ judgement‚ personality and inhibitions Parietal- sensory lobe‚ analyzes sensory information

Nervous System The two types of the nervous system are the Central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. 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
