Detailed explanation-1: -What Is the Central Nervous System? The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord: The brain controls how we think, learn, move, and feel. The spinal cord carries messages back and forth between the brain and the nerves that run throughout the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -A stimulus from any part of the body is always carried to the brain or spinal cord for the correct response. A response to a stimulus is also generated in the central nervous system. Therefore, the brain and the spinal cord are called the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Together, the brain and spinal cord that extends from it make up the central nervous system, or CNS.
Detailed explanation-4: -The brainstem is the lower part of the brain that connects with the spinal cord. It controls functions that we don’t usually think about.
Detailed explanation-5: -The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.
