MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The brain is what controls all the body’s functions. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back. It contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. This network of nerves relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain and spinal cord (the CNS) function as the control center. They receive data and feedback from the sensory organs and from nerves throughout the body, process the information, and send commands back out.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain is the major functional unit of the CNS. While the spinal cord has certain processing ability such as that of spinal locomotion and can process reflexes, the brain is the major processing unit of the nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our brain, the control center of the nervous system and the rest of the body, normally allows us to retain and recall information.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nervous system has two main parts: 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.
