The Central Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. It integrates sensory input, coordinates motor responses, and regulates cognitive functions. The CNS contains billions of neurons organized into specialized regions responsible for memory, emotions, movement, and autonomic regulation.
Damage to the CNS can lead to significant neurological alteration, affecting mobility, cognition, and vital functions.
