MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nervous system has two main parts: The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -Central Nervous System Structure. The CNS has three main components: the brain, the spinal cord, and the neurons (or nerve cells). Each part of the CNS plays an important role in how the body functions, and the three components of the CNS work together to take in information and control how the body responds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The central nervous system (defined as the brain and spinal cord) is usually considered to have seven basic parts: the spinal cord, the medulla, the pons, the cerebellum, the midbrain, the diencephalon, and the cerebral hemispheres (Figure 1.10; see also Figure 1.8).
