brain and spinal cord/vertebrae. The brain is like the central computer that controls all bodily functions‚ and the nervous sends messages back and forth from the brain to the rest of the body. The way the nerves travel is through the spinal cord. It starts at the brain and travels down the spinal cord in the back which contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. What is it made of? it is made up of three major parts ‚ the brain‚ the spinal cord ‚ and

The Central Nervous System or (CNS) is located in the center portion of the body as its name implies. The (CNS) is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. Our brain is in control of many very important body functions and sensations like these for example: sleep‚ muscle movement‚ memory‚ sexual activity‚ emotions‚ hunger and thirst. Our spinal cord extends several types of nerve fibers from the brain acts like a switching and relay terminal for the peripheral nervous system as is stated in Mosby’s

Split cord malformation‚ which is also known as (Diastematomyelia) is a rare congenital anomaly and a relatively one form of occult spinal dysraphism. Split spinal cord accounts for 5% of overall spinal cord congenital defects.(2) Diastematomyelia is characterized as a sagittal cleft that separates the spinal cord along with the posterior vertebral components at varying levels such as‚ Conus Medullaris and Filum Terminale. Diastematomyelia is caused by an Osseous‚ cartilaginous‚ or fibrous septum

surrounding the developing spinal cord of a fetus doesn ’t close properly. Its part of a group of birth defects called neural tube defects (Spinal Bifida Association of America‚ 2006). The neural tube is the embryonic structure that eventually develops into the baby ’s brain and spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them. In normal circumstances‚ the neural tube forms in the developing baby early in the pregnancy and closes by the 26th day after conception (Spinal Bifida Association of America

2013 ABSTRACT The brain is the most important part of an organism’s body. It is the one that receives all information from different stimuli and controls the movement of body parts. But for sudden stimuli that needs a quick response‚ spinal cord reflexes happened. The effect of decerebration on a toad (Bufo marinus) will cause its inability to move‚ but it still responded to stimuli because of certain reflexes which were not mediated by the brain. The intact toad’s response to certain stimuli

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 that branch from the brain and spinal cord. It is a thick bundle of nerve fibers located within the spinal cord. The PNS can be regenerate and it will regrow. The brain and spinal cord are the main parts of the nervous system. The brain controls every part of your body and is located top of our head inside our skull. The spinal cord with controls our movement
