3STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OFNERVOUS SYSTEMIntroductionThe nervous system is a fundamental part of the body. Its functions rank among the most important, and life as we know it is impossible without it in most life forms. Since it is responsible for all voluntary actions, in addition to innumerable other complicated tasks, its structure is bound to be a complex network, spanning the entire body. It is classified into different subtypes, based on different criteria. Transmission of nerve impulses fulfills all voluntary tasks, including those involving limbs, movement, and reactions. Descriptions regarding the aforementioned have been given. Detailed studies of the nervous system also lead to gaining a proper understanding of Central and Autonomic Nervous Systems as well. Herein, this study is about the nervous system, with details about its structure and functions. Structure of the Central Nervous SystemThe Central Nervous System is the main control unit of the body. It consists of two physiologically important structures known as the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is considered as the most imperative organ of the body that handles all the regulation system, beingresponsible for the efficient function of all other organs and organ systems of the body (2). It is encased in the skull, which provides it with protection from external injuries. The part of the skull specifically responsible for protecting this organ is known as the cranium.
