Nervous System

To control and coordinate body functions and systems.

Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).

Brain and Spinal Cord.

It connects the brain to the peripheral nerves and transmits signals between them.

It connects the CNS to the limbs and organs, facilitating communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals.

They carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

They transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.

A synapse is the junction between two neurons where information is transmitted from one neuron to another.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another.
