Take care of your nervous system

 The nervous system controls perception and the body's responses. Its principle of operation is to send information from what is sensed in the form of electrical current to the organs that act as commands. Including the brain and spinal cord to allow the body to produce various responses.




Functions of the nervous system

  Sensory neurons are responsible for receiving information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin and sending the information to the brain for processing and response.


It can be divided into different areas as follows:

· Intelligence and memory

· Basic bodily functions such as breathing, digestion.

· Movement: The left brain controls the right side of the body and the right brain controls the left side of the body.

· The 5 senses include sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.


The nervous system has many related tissues. If there is an abnormality in only one of these tissues. It will result in abnormal nerve signal reception and transmission.

Examples of nervous system disorders

- If the nerves in any area are damaged, it will cause the muscles in that area to lose control, lose sensation, numbness, twitching, and not being able to move.

- If the spinal nerves are compressed, it can cause neck pain, back pain, and lumbar pain, to the point of being unable to walk.

- If there is an abnormality in the brain, it may result in abnormal behavior, learning, and the functioning of other organs, etc.

Examples of common nervous system diseases

-Encephalitis caused by infection

-Brain tumor

-Alzheimer's disease is caused by the degeneration of brain tissue.

-Stroke

-Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Botulinum.
