Activity 2D: NERVOUS SYSTEM🔬

❕ Nervous system is a complex network of neurons that plays a crucial role in controlling and coordinating various bodily functions.

❕Cerebellum is a structure located at the back of the brain. The cerebellum is essential for making postural adjustments to maintain balance.

❕Cerebrum is the largest and most anterior part of the mammalian brain. It plays a crucial role in sensory perception, controlling voluntary movement, and higher cognitive functions.

❕Spinal Ganglion transmits sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system.

❕Spinal Cord is a vital structure that connects the brain to the rest of the body. The spinal cord plays a crucial role in carrying signals between the brain and the body. It facilitates movement, sensation, and reflexes.
