    Glossary Nervous System

    network transmitting signals between brain, spinal cord, and body

    The nervous system, also known as the neural system, is a complex network of nerves and cells that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It consists of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which comprises all other neural elements. This system is essential for coordinating voluntary and involuntary actions, processing sensory information, and maintaining homeostasis.
