The nervous system is the body's primary control and communication network. It consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves). The nervous system processes sensory information, coordinates voluntary and involuntary responses, and underlies consciousness, thought, and emotion.

What organs are in the Nervous?

The Nervous contains 708 structures cataloged on AnatomyFYI, including organs, bones, muscles, nerves, and vessels that work together to perform the system's functions.

What conditions affect the Nervous?

The Nervous can be affected by a range of conditions including infections, inflammatory diseases, congenital abnormalities, autoimmune disorders, and degenerative conditions. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment.

How does the Nervous work?

The nervous system is the body's primary control and communication network. It consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves). The nervous system processes sensory information, coordinates voluntary and involuntary responses, and underlies consciousness, thought, and emotion. The structures within the Nervous coordinate through chemical signaling, nerve impulses, and mechanical interactions to maintain homeostasis and carry out essential bodily functions.
