The nervous system is a very complex system in the body. It has many‚ many parts. The nervous system is divided into two main systems‚ the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system. The spinal cord and the brain make up the CNS. Its main job is to get the information from the body and send out instructions. The peripheral nervous system is made up of all of the nerves and the wiring. This system sends the messages from the brain to the rest of the body. The brain keeps the

The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending‚ receiving‚ and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. This system can be divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Let ’s take a look at the central nervous system. Central Nervous System The

NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ sensory organs‚ and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. Together‚ these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts. The brain and spinal cord form the control center known as the central nervous system (CNS)‚ where information is evaluated and decisions made. The sensory nerves and sense organs of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) monitor conditions

he nervous system is the communication network of the body. It consists of a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells‚ called neurons‚ that transmit messages across the different parts of the body in order for it to function and react correctly. They are known as the building blocks of the nervous system. Structurally they have long extensions that extend out from the cell body. There are two types of these extensions; dendrites‚ which are extensions of the neurons that receive signals
