The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is an extensive network of nerves connecting the CNS to the muscles and sensory structures.

For example, damage to specific areas of the brain, such as that caused by a head injury or cerebrovascular accidents (i.e., strokes), can cause specific deficits in speech, facial movements, or use of the extremities.

The nervous system is divided into 2 parts: the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous systemconsisting of nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord.

Indicate whether the following parts of the nervous system are part of the Central Nervous System CNS) or the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). Match the descriptions below with the parts of the nervous system in the list. The largest nerve in the body serving the muscles of the leg.

The section provides statistics on brain tumors, detailing benign and malignant types, and their effects. It explains Guillain-Barr?? as a rare neuropathy and meningitis as an inflammation of the meninges caused by various pathogens.

The nerves of the autonomic nervous system originate in the spinal cord and pass out between the vertebrae to serve the various organs (see diagram 14.10).There are two main parts to the autonomic nervous system—the sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system.

It highlights the roles of cranial and spinal nerves in sensory and motor functions, the pathways of motor neuron axons, and the importance of dermatomes and myotomes in diagnosing neurological and motor control issues.
