Central Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for integrating sensory information and coordinating the body's responses.
Anatomy of the Central Nervous System
The brain is divided into several regions, including the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The spinal cord extends from the brainstem down the back and is protected by the vertebrae.
Function of the Central Nervous System
The CNS plays a crucial role in controlling most functions of the body, including movement, sensation, speech, and memory. It also regulates involuntary activities such as heartbeat and breathing.
