Nervous System Functions and Structures

The video tutorial explains the nervous system, which includes the central and peripheral systems. The central nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, with the brain being divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata. Each part of the brain has specific functions, such as memory, balance, and involuntary actions. The peripheral nervous system extends nerves throughout the body and is divided into the somatic and autonomous systems, responsible for sensory and involuntary functions.

What are the two main divisions of the nervous system?

• Central and Peripheral

• Somatic and Autonomous

• Brain and Spinal Cord
