The nervous system is one of the smallest yet one of the‚ if not the most‚ complex systems in the human body. It can be broken down into two main subdivisions‚ the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central nervous system contains about 85 billion neurons and includes the spinal cord and brain. It is considered the control center of the body and processes all types of incoming sensory information. The peripheral nervous system is composed of all the other tissue

Introduction: The overall nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ with the autonomic nervous system being a division of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates glands as well as the smooth and cardiac muscle. There are three separate systems within the autonomic nervous system and are called the sympathetic nervous system‚ parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. They are responsible for the ‘fight

The job of the central nervous system is to process and send information to the peripheral nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord and a complex network of neurons. The central nervous system is responsible for receiving‚ sending and interpreting information from the whole body. The nervous system also monitors and coordinates internal organ functions and responds to external changes as they occur. The two main organs of the central nervous system are the brain and

Psychology The Nervous System The nervous system is divided into two main areas‚ the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls the brain and spinal cord. The average human brain weighs approximately 3 pounds and contains approximately 100 billion neurons‚ as well as trillions of “support cells” called glia. The spinal cord weights approximately 35-40 grams and is around 43 cm long in adult woman and 45 cm long in adult men. The frontal
