    The nervous system consists of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and is responsible for thought and controlling movement. The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body through nerves, and allows the brain and spinal cord to receive information and send commands. It regulates both voluntary functions through the somatic nervous system and involuntary functions like breathing and digestion through the autonomic nervous system.

    NERVOUS SYSTEM

    The nervous system serves as the command center for your body. It is controlled by your brain and governs
    your movements, thoughts, and automatic responses to the world around you. It also regulates other body
    systems and processes like digestion, breathing, and sexual development (puberty).

    The Central Nervous System Consists This system allows the brain and spinal cord to
    of 2 Components which is The Brain receive and send information to other areas of
    the body, which let us react to stimuli in our
    and The Spine
    environment. This system is divided in two parts

    - The Brain is one of its


    components it deals with - Responsible for carrying sensory and motor info.
    thoughts, the interpreter of This has motor neurons and sensory neurons

    our external environment, and


    - Your Somatic Nervous System is a subdivision of
    the origin of control over body Cell Body
    your peripheral nervous system that stretches
    Dendrite
    movement (senses). throughout nearly every part of your body. The
    nerves in this system deliver information from your
    Axon senses to your brain. They also carry commands
    - The Spine is the second Myelin from your brain to your muscles so you can move
    component of it, this is like a around
    bridge for it connects the brain
    to the other parts of the body.
    Spine has a parts: The Cervical, - Responsible for regulating involuntary
    body functions, such as blood flow,
    Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, and
    heartbeat, digestion, and breathing. This is
    Coccygeal categorized in two parts: Parasympathetic
    bronchoconstriction


    system deals maintain normal body
    stimulates peristalsis &

    functions and conserve physical resources


    secretion

    while the Sympathetic system deals with


    defense mechanism

    Your Somatic Nervous System involves things you can consciously


    sense and do. Your Autonomic Nervous System works without you
    thinking about it, running the behind-the-scenes processes that
    keep you alive. Both are subdivisions of the Peripheral Nervous
    System.
