The CNS

• The cns is made up of the brain and nerves in the spinal cord
• The brain draws together information from all over the body and sends a response back
• The spinal cord contains the nerves that carry messages between the brain and the body
• The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord, which are responsible for processing and transmitting information throughout the body.
• The peripheral nervous system (pns) branches out from the spine and is a web of nerves carrying info to and from the cns to the rest of the body
• The cns acts as an information processing and control centre
• When the body receives information from the senses the PNS sends it to the CNS for the brain to process and interrogate the info and generate a response
