text: It consists of two main organs; the brain and the spinal cord.
text: The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves).

text: Ependymal cells produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a liquid that bathes the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and fills its internal cavities.
text: They wander through the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), putting out fingerlike extensions to constantly probe the tissue for cellular debris or other problems.
text: Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and constitute over 90% of the tissue in some areas of the brain.
text: In most cases, a Schwann cell winds repeatedly around a nerve fiber and produces a myelin sheath similar to the one produced by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
text: There are some important differences in myelin production between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system, which we consider shortly.
text: The myelin sheath is a spiral layer of insulation around a nerve fiber, formed by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.

text: Nerve fibers of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) have no neurilemma or endoneurium.
text: The contrasting modes of myelination are called centrifugal myelination (“away from the center”) in the peripheral nervous system and centripetal myelination (“toward the center”) in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
text: Both of these are lacking from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), so damaged central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) nerve fibers cannot regenerate at all.
text: However, since the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is encased in bone, it suffers less trauma than the peripheral nerves.
text: Central nervous system: brain, spinal cord, and association neuron.
text: Our nervous system has two parts: the Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord) and the Peripheral Nervous System (nerves that reach all our body parts).
text: Nerves emerge from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) through foramina of the skull and vertebral column and carry signals to and from other organs of the body.
text: The CNS (brain and spinal cord) interprets incoming sensory information and issues instructions based on past experience.
text: Neurotransmitter pathways exist in the CNS (brain and spinal cord) just as they do in the PNS.
text: Proprioceptors monitor the degree of stretch of these locomotory organs and send input on body movements to the CNS (brain and spinal cord).
text: The CNS (brain and spinal cord) then activates spinal motor neurons called A (alpha) efferent neurons that cause the entire muscle (extrafusal fibers) to generate contractile force and resist further stretching.
text: The CNS (brain and spinal cord) interprets incoming sensory information and issues instructions based on past experience.
text: The CNS is protected by bone in the dorsal cavity: the brain in the cranial subcavity, and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity.
text: The CNS is protected by bone in the dorsal cavity: the brain in the cranial subcavity, and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity.
