    The nervous system connects all parts of the body and transmits signals between them. It has two main divisions - the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, which serve as the main processing centers. The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body and is made up of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

    Nervous System connects all your body parts and transmits signals

    from one part to another. It is a system of cells, tissues, and organs that regulates
    the body’s responses to internal and external stimuli. Each part of the nervous
    system has a specific role as it functions as an important part of a system.
    Major Divisions and Parts of the Nervous System

    1. Central Nervous System (CNS)


    The CNS serves as the main processing center for the entire nervous
    system. It consists of two main components, namely the:

    a. Brain
    This is an organ located within the skull that functions as organizer
    and distributor of information for the body.

    It has three main parts:


    Cerebrum - large, upper part of the brain that controls activity and thought

    Cerebellum – the part under the cerebrum that controls posture, balance, and coordination.

    Brain Stem – the part that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic
    functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure

    b. Spinal Cord
    This serves as a channel for signals between the brain and the rest of the body, and controls
    simple musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.

    1. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)


    - It connects the central nervous system to the organs and limbs

    a. Somatic Nervous System


    This system is associated with the voluntary control of body movements and has two main
    parts:
    Spinal Nerves – the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals between the spinal cord and
    the body.

    Cranial Nerves – the nerve fibers that carry information into and out of the brain stem

    b. Autonomic Nervous System


    This system is associated with the involuntary control of body movements and has two
    subdivisions:

    Sympathetic - it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role or stress. (e.g., increased heart
    rate and breathing, dilation of pupil,sweating, etc. )
    Parasympathetic - it maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed
    mode

    NERVE CELL
    - neutrons are specialized cells that transmit infos to other nerve cells, muscles or glands
    Axons - carry impulses away from cell body

    ENDOCRINE SYSTEM - is composed of glands that secrete different types of hormones that
    affect almost every cell, organ, and function of our body. It is essential in regulating growth and
    development, metabolism, as well as reproductive processes and mood.
