Organ: Central nervous system
Central nervous system:
Major body nervous system including
brain and
spinal cord
Introduction: Together, the brain and spinal cord form the
central
nervous system . This complex system is part of
everything we do. It controls the things we choose to do --
like walk and talk -- and the things our body does
automatically -- like breathe and digest food. The central
nervous system is also involved with our senses -- seeing,
hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling -- as well as our
emotions, thoughts, and memory.
