    The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls thought, memory, emotion and all bodily functions. It contains several key parts including the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The cerebrum controls muscle functions and cognitive processes. The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements. The brainstem regulates vital functions like breathing and heart rate. The spinal cord relays signals between the brain and body and coordinates reflexes.
