Brain and Spinal Cord

The brain and spinal cord together form the central nervous system, crucial for regulating body processes. The brain is the control center, processing information, enabling thinking, memory, and emotions. It directs our movements and responses to the environment. The spinal cord, a long, thin bundle of nerves, runs down the back and connects the brain to the body, transmitting signals to and from different body parts. Together, they coordinate sensory information, motor functions, and automatic bodily processes, allowing us to interact effectively with our surroundings.
