Introduction to the Nervous System
The nervous system controls bodily function by gathering sensory input, integrating that information internally, and communicating proper motor output.
The Central Nervous System (CNS)
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, which process sensory input and provide instructions to the body.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to environmental stimuli to gather sensory input and create motor output.
