Nervous System Structure and Functions

This video is the second lesson in a general science class focusing on the human organ system. It covers the peripheral nervous system, explaining its role in connecting different body parts to the central nervous system. The video includes a diagram to illustrate the network of nerves, highlighting the cranial and spinal nerves and their specific functions. The lesson concludes with a summary of the peripheral nervous system's importance.
