Structure And Function Of the Living Organisms: The Structure and Functions of The Human Nervous System

The video tutorial explains the nervous system, divided into the central and peripheral systems. The brain, a key component, controls body systems, thoughts, and memories. It is protected by the skull, while the spinal cord is shielded by vertebrae and cerebrospinal fluid. The peripheral system includes nerves branching from the brain and spinal cord. Nerves are bundles of neurons, the basic units of the nervous system.

What are the two main parts of the nervous system?

• Cerebrospinal Fluid and Membranes

• Nerves and Neurons

• Brain and Spinal Cord

• Central and Peripheral

What is the primary function of the brain?

• To protect the spinal cord

• To connect neurons

• To control body systems and house thoughts

• To produce cerebrospinal fluid

How is the brain protected within the skull?

• By cerebrospinal fluid alone

• By a layer of neurons

• By a jigsaw puzzle of bones

• By a single bone

What is the role of cerebrospinal fluid?

• To form the vertebrae

• To transmit signals

• To protect and nourish nerve tissue

• To connect the brain to the spinal cord

What is a nerve composed of?

• A single neuron

• A bundle of nerve cells

• Cerebrospinal fluid

• A single vertebra
