Healthy Nervous and Endocrine Systems: the Nervous System

The video explores the human senses and their connection to the nervous system. It explains how the brain, as part of the central nervous system, processes sensory information and controls body functions. The peripheral nervous system, consisting of nerves throughout the body, works with the central nervous system to relay messages. Neurons, the specialized cells in these systems, transmit messages at high speeds. The video highlights the complexity of the brain and spinal cord, emphasizing their roles in storing information, processing stimuli, and controlling bodily functions.

How do the central and peripheral nervous systems work together?

What happens if the peripheral nervous system is not functioning?
