of the spinal cord and the brain. The spinal cord takes messages sent form the neurons and deliver them to the brain. The spinal cord is essentially like a mail man‚ or a phone to send a text message. The brain is the most important part of the human body and is very similar to a parent telling a child (in the case the neuron) what to do. The brain takes the messages given by the spinal cord from the neurons and figures out what needs to happen. Then the brain sends a message using the spinal cord

But recent research into regeneration mechanism of the central nervous system‚ The discovery of stem cells in the adult brain can give rise to new neurons and neural support cells‚ has raised hopes

BIOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS Heredity Heredity refers to the process of transmitting genetic characteristics from parents to offspring. Physical traits and even physical defects are known to be hereditary. Also‚ some mental traits and mental defects are known to be hereditary.

Premium Central nervous system Brain Nervous system
In vertebrates it consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ nerves‚ ganglia‚ and parts of the receptor and effector organs. Your nervous system is composed of the central nervous system‚ the cranial nerves‚ and the peripheral nerves. The brain and spinal cord together form the central nervous system. The cranial nerves connect the brain to the head. The four groups of nerves that branch from the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ and sacral regions of the spinal cord are called the peripheral nerves. The peripheral

The spinal cord is about 17 inches long and has three protective layers like the brain: the outer dura mater‚ the
