The nervous system has two main components: the
central
nervous
system
(CNS) and the
peripheral nervous system
(PNS).
Central nervous system
(
CNS
) - is made up of the brain and spinal cord.
Nerve : is a cordlike bundle of fibers
Nervous system
: is a complex network of nerves
Neurons : cells that make up he brain and the nervous system
Nerve cell
: is the basic functional unit of he brain and is designed to transmit information to other nervecells
Cell
body
: contains the nucleus and connects to the dendrites and the axons
Dendrites
are tubelike branches that recieve information from other neutrons
Sensory neurons
: nerve cells that are activated by input
Motor Neutrons
: carry messages from the brain
Interneurons
: create neural pathways
Brain
: is a highly specialized organ in the nervous system
Cerebrum
: is the largest part of the brain
Cerebellum
: is located under the cerebrum
Brain stem
: is found in the lowest part of the brain
the cerebrum consists of two hemispheres, The
left
hemispere
and The
right
hemisphere
Left hemisphere
: controls the right side of the body
Right hemisphere
: controls the left side of the body
Spinal cord
: is a bundle of nerve tissues
Peripheral nervous system
: consists of the nerves and nerve clusters
