Brain Messages
The brain sorts, sends and receives messages
using the nervous system. The nervous system is
a very complex system in the body. The nervous
system is divided into two main systems, the
central nervous system and the peripheral
nervous system.
The spinal cord and the brain make up the CNS
(central nervous system) and all nerves and
‘wiring’ make up the PNS (peripheral nervous
system. There is also another system called the
Ecrodine or Hormone system. It works with the
brain and the nerves to keep the body in order.
It controls the rate we grow, our feelings of
hunger and more. It controls the body’s systems
and organs, keeping them working like they
should.
The PNS is made up of the nerve cells or neurons
that are ‘wired’ together throughout the body,
sort of communicating with each other. The
messages move from one neuron to another,
keeping the body flowing.
The CNS allows us to think, feel remember and
imagine. In general, the brain makes us act like
humans. From the CNS the nerves run down your
spinal cord and divide many times as they leave
your spinal cord so that they can reach all parts
of the body. The thickest nerve is 1 inch thick
and the thinnest is thinner than a human hair.
Each nerve is a bundle of hundreds or thousands
of neurons.
In Conclusion, the nervous system is a very
complex process. But it is also a very interesting
one.
