  1. NERVOUS SYSTEM OVERVIEW The nervous system is one of the most important systems of the entire body as without it, we would not be able to experience life at all. It is the enabling factor that allows for us to feel, interact with and make sense of the world around us. Every experience, whether guided by pain, pleasure or neutrality, is a product of how the nervous system receives, organizes and responds to sensory information. The nervous system of humans is more evolved than most organisms on the planet, bestowing unto us the power of thought. Through the complex interactions of human neurons, we are not only able to experience our existence but are also able to participate in it, reflect upon it, learn from it and to make significant contributions toward outcomes moving forward. The following overview briefly details all the components of a working nervous system and gives insight into how all the parts work together to create our lived experience.

  2. NERVE CELLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Not all neurons are the same. Likewise neither are the functions they fulfil. The main functions of the nervous system as a whole are to take in sensory information, process it and then respond accordingly. Different facets of the nervous system take on unique aspects of these main functions, being categorized accordingly. Some components are there to either receive, respond or process sensory information from specific stimuli; while other parts of the nervous system play generalized roles that fulfil all three functions in a specific niche response. BRANCHES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system comprises of two main branches: the central and peripheral nervous systems, with each branch having many subdivisions that are categorized according to their primary functions. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system consists of the neurons extending out to all other areas of the body.
