    The nervous system is composed of two main divisions: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and it receives information from both inside and outside the body. It then sorts the information and determines the appropriate responses. The brain is the control center located in the skull, and it contains three main parts - the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem.

    NERVOUS SYSTEM

    This is the nervous system,


    its acts as the leader of the other
    systems. It is the communication
    network and the control center of the
    body.
    There are two major
    divisions and parts of the nervous
    system: the central nervous system
    and the peripheral nervous system.

    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM


    The central nervous system is
    composed of the brain and spinal
    cord. It is the receiver of all
    information or inputs that came from the
    environment or outside the body. After
    receiving this information, it sorts them and
    decides what to do about them.

    BRAIN
    It serves as the body's control center. It
    is located inside the skull. The brain has
    three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum and
    brainstem.

    CEREBRUM
    It is the largest part of the brain. It is
    composed of left and right hemispheres.
    It performs higher functions like interpreting touch,
    vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning,
    emotions , learning, and fine control movement.

    CEREBELLUM
    It is the portion of the brain in the back
    of the head between the cerebrum and
    the brain stem. It is located under the
    cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle
    movements, maintain posture, and balance.

    BRAIN STEM
    This part of the brain acts as a relay
    center connecting the cerebrum and
    cerebellum to the spinal cord. It
    performs many automatic functions such as
    breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and
    sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing,
    vomiting, and swallowing.
