The human nervous system is a complex network y dynamic which acts as the body’s control and coordination centre. It consists of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which encompasses the nerves that extend throughout the body, this system plays a vital role in regulating all bodily functions and in interacting with the environment. Thanks to this formation of Understanding our nervous system, You will undertake a detailed study of the anatomy, physiology, functioning and disorders of the human nervous system. You will also explore various sections or areas of focus to gain a better understanding of the complexity of the system as a whole.
