The nervous system is made up of millions of neurons and interconnected nerves that are comparable to a wiring system. The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The nervous system functions like a corporate giant. The CEO is the leader in the CNS and the officers and delegates are the PNS. The CNS gives the commands and the PNS follows the commands. The Central Nervous System The central nervous system (CNS) is

Central Nervous System: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls bodily functions. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain in humans. The cerebrum is the last place that information travels through in the brain. The spinal cord is the part of the body that communicates between the brain and the nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is commonly known as a pathway from the brain to the body. Peripheral Nervous System: The peripheral
