Inside the body, there is a range of different devices and each device has work and function to maintain the vitality and activity of the body and stay in the right shape.

Among these organs is the nervous system, which is divided into two parts, so through this article we will learn a comparison between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system because the nervous system is one of the most important organs that perform significant functions within the body.

 


What is the nervous system?


The nervous system is a system through which the body interacts with many effects, whether internal or external within a specialized organ, the nervous system.

·        This is done by a lot of neurons that transmit information from the body's five senses. The sense of touch, the sense of taste, the sense of sight, hearing, and smell.

·      The nervous system is the center of control within the body, organization, and communication in the entire body, in addition to being the center of thinking, learning, and memory.



What is the function of the nervous system?


There are a lot of tasks and functions that the nervous system does:

·        The nervous system is the link between all information from all parts of the body and to link and regulate it within the human body.

·        The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.

The brain is one of the most complex organs within the body, it is relatively complex, it needs a percentage of oxygen that the body breathes approximately 20%.

·        The brain consists of 100 million neurons that bind them together.

·        In addition, the nervous system controls the development and growth of the brain, emotion, thinking, growth and aging.

·        The nervous system helps with movement and balance, hunger, thirst, and digestion.



which makes up the central nervous system


·        The central nervous system is one of the most important organs that control the functions of the entire body, it is the center of control and integration and is divided into two main parts:

·        The brain performs many tasks, which is sensation, thinking, movement, speech, and other tasks, all of these tasks are controlled by the brain, it is divided into three parts and it is as follows:



Core


It is closer to the spinal cord and regulates all involuntary movements within the human body, for example, heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.



Bridge


It connects the upper brain to the bottom through the bridge, controlling sleep and waking up by secreting certain chemicals.



Cerebellum


It is located between the bridge and the rest of the brain stem, it contains burking cells that have complex branches that process a wide range of signals at the same time.

It regulates voluntary movements, namely muscle movement, human feelings, and balance.



The average brain


It's a small part, but it's very important. It is the center of contact between the brain and the spinal cord, connecting the anterior brain in the back brain to control eye movement.

 


Anterior brain


It takes a large part of the brain and contains the brain as it transmits the body's senses to the brain. It has thinking and planning processes inside and surrounds the outside of the brain a layer called the cerebral cortex,

In addition, the anterior brain contains anencephaly, a group of small parts with a range of functions.

 


Spinal solution


·        The spinal cord is located inside the human body, about 45 centimeters long and 2 centimeters in diameter.

·        It is a long cylinder divided into a number of vertebrae, each paragraph having a couple of nerve roots consisting of many nerve fibers.

Among these pairs is a pair located towards the back called dorsal root, and another is located far from the back and is called the abdominal root.

·        The spinal cord transmits all information to and from the brain, where it controls the contraction and relaxation of the muscles when walking next to involuntary responses.

 


What are the tissues of the central nervous system?


·        The central nervous system has two types of tissues:



Gray matter


It is a thin substance, which forms the outer part of the brain similar to a brush, found in the inner part of the spinal cord and consists of a group of neurons, blood vessels, and neuron bodies.



White matter


The substance that forms the inner part of the brain contains a set of nerve cell axes and is covered with a substance called myelin.



Peripheral nervous system


The peripheral nervous system contains a group of nerves found outside the central nervous system. It has a role in connecting the central nervous system to organs and limbs and helps the brain and spinal cord receive and send information to different areas within the body.

In addition, it allows interaction with surrounding objects in the environment, and the peripheral nervous system is divided into two parts: the sensory nervous system.

  The sensory nervous system is responsible for transmitting all sensory and motor information from the central nervous system, which consists of a group of sensory nerves in motor nerves.

 The physical nervous system is divided into two parts, sensory neurons that transmit sensory signals from nerves from within the central nervous system are called incoming neurons.

The second section is motor neurons when the body is exposed to stimuli that need movement

·        The central nervous system releases information for muscle fibers through motor neurons and here they are known as sensory cells released.

·        Neurons transmit all information in the nervous system through neurons that communicate between them by secreting a chemical called neurotransmitters in an area between neurons called neurotransmitters.

·        Neurons are divided into three sections, including the cell body, which contains the nucleus and many cytoplasmic organelles, and also consists of tree appendages,

·        The third section of neurons is called the axis through which the stimuli are transmitted to neurons.



Glial cells


·        Glial cells are cells found in neurons.

·        It has a group of different cells, including stellar cells, and low-dendritic cells,

In addition to the lining cells, the Shawan cells, and the small glial cells
