The nervous system is considered the most complex organ system. It is formed by billions of network of nerve cells called neurons and its supporting cells known as glial cells. These neurons are interconnected to form a complex system which processes information and responds to sensory information.
Organized into two divisions, the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. The CNS is composed of the brain and spinal cord while the PNS is composed of the spinal, peripheral, cranial nerves, and ganglia which are nerves outside the CNS.
The nervous system together with the endocrine system maintains and regulates homeostasis in our body.
