    The document summarizes key aspects of the nervous system. It describes the nervous system as having two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) made up of nerves connecting the CNS to the body. The three main functions of the nervous system are to receive sensory input, integrate information, and initiate motor responses. The document also provides examples of cranial nerve assessments, toxins and their effects on neurons, images of a sheep and cat brain, and descriptions of different parts of the brain and their roles.
