Nervous system

The nervous system is a complex network responsible for processing information and controlling bodily functions. The nervous system consists of two main parts:

1. Central Nervous System (CNS): Includes the brain and spinal cord.

2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Comprises nerves that extend throughout the body.

Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system. The nervous system performs several crucial functions:

1. Receiving sensory information from the environment.

2. Processing and integrating information.

3. Generating and transmitting signals to control body functions.

4. Regulating vital processes such as heartbeat, breathing, and digestion.
