The Wonders of Your Nervous System
The human nervous system is a complex network that controls every part of our lives, from breathing to problem-solving. It consists of two main parts:
- Central Nervous System (CNS): The brain and the spinal cord.
- Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): All the nerves branching out from the CNS to the rest of the body.
The CNS is the command center: it processes information and creates responses. Meanwhile, the PNS sends signals to and from the CNS, ensuring every body part communicates effectively.
