Nervous and Endocrine Systems: Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems

The video tutorial explains the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, acts as the body's control center, processing information from inside and outside the body. The brain, protected by the skull, manages both voluntary and involuntary activities, with different parts responsible for specific functions. The spinal cord, housed within the vertebrae, connects the brain to the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system comprises a network of nerves that control voluntary and involuntary actions and gather information to send to the brain.
