3rd Quarter Part 3 Science

The _ is a complex network of nerves and cells that transmits information going to and from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the human body

It is considered as the body’s storage center of information and also the body’s control system.

It’s in charge of directing and coordinating the actions of all organ systems by relaying commands from the brain by nerve signals.

It ensures that the body's different parts communicate and cooperate effectively.

Serves as the main processing center of the Nervous System

The _ transmits signals from the brain to most of the body parts and it activates some basic musculoskeletal reflexes on its own, without the brain processing.

The spinal cord is around 40cm - 50cm long which is composed of _ matter. It is responsible for our reflexes.

_ is primarily composed of neuron somas (the round central cell bodies)

_ is mostly made of axons (the long stems that connects neurons together) wrapped in myelin (a protective coating).
