The nervous system is made up of 2 cells, neurons and neuroglia.

There are 3 main organs that are

related to the nervous system ;

1. Brain
The brain, a soft, wrinkled organ that weighs about 3 pounds, is located inside the cranial cavity, where
the bones of the skull surround and protect it. The approximately 100 billion neurons of the brain form
the main control center of the body.
2. Spinal Cord
The spinal cord is a long, thin mass of bundled neurons that carries information through the vertebral
cavity of the spine beginning at the medulla oblongata of the brain on its superior end and continuing
inferiorly to the lumbar region of the spine.
3. Sensory Organs
Sensory receptors for the general senses like touch, temperature, and pain are found throughout most of
the body. All of the sensory receptors of the body are connected to afferent neurons that carry their
sensory information to the CNS to be processed and integrated.

The following are diseases regarding the nervous system

1. Epilepsy
a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal,
causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness.
2. Alzheimer’s disease
Is the most common type of dementia. Meaning that memory and mental health of a person will slowly
get destroyed overtime.
3. Parkinson’s disease
