Flashcards
Components of Central Nervous System
Components of Central Nervous System
The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. It acts as the control center, processing information and sending signals to the body.
Components of Peripheral Nervous System
Components of Peripheral Nervous System
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprises all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It connects the CNS to the rest of the body, transmitting signals.
Function of the Heart
Function of the Heart
The heart is a powerful pump that circulates blood throughout the body. It delivers oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products.
