Today's Topic : The Nervous System

The Nervous System has two main parts,
A Receptor- A sense organ that receives feeling or sensory actions from the outside environment, or the outside world. e: Skin, Eyes etc..
An Effector- These are glands and muscles that generate a response to the information received by the receptor. e: Glands and Muscles.

Parts Of The Brain Involved In The Nervous System:

  • Cerebro Spinal Fluid
  • Medulla
There Are Two Types of Nervous System:

  1. The Central Nervous System- Involving The Brain And The Spinal Cord
  2. The Peripheral Nervous System- Craneal Nerves And The Spinal Nerves
The Spinal Nerves Originate from the Spinal Cord And The Craneal Nerves Originate From The Brain.
  However, Even After Being Connected The Peripheral And Central Nervous System Operate As Two Different Types Of Nervous Systems.
