The Neural and Brain System Center, often referred to as the “Central Nervous System,” is an essential component of the human body’s nervous system. It plays a critical role in controlling bodily functions and perceiving the environment.

Functions of the Central Nervous System:

• Perception and Data Processing: It processes sensory information to produce appropriate responses.
• Movement Control: Initiates and regulates muscle movements via signals from the brain.
• Basic Physical Process Control: Manages essential life functions like breathing and heart rate.
• Learning and Memory: Stores and retrieves information and experiences essential for learning and memory recall.

The brain and spinal cord are safeguarded by the skull and spinal bones respectively. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) also provides protection from impacts and aids in maintaining central nervous system health. Maintaining overall health through regular exercise, a nutritious diet, avoiding drugs, and good mental health practices is recommended to support the functionality of the central nervous system.

This system is primarily composed of the brain and the spinal cord.
