Nervous System Anatomy

The nervous system is the dominant system in the body and is divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Nervous system anatomy is a large academic field and is also the name of a related course. Do you know what specific nervous systems there are? What does neuroanatomy contain? Let's take a look at the introduction to the anatomy of the nervous system.

A concept

The nervous system is the dominant functional regulation system in the human body. The structure and function of the human body are extremely complex.

The functions of various organs and systems in the human nervous system and various physiological processes are not carried out in isolation, but are interconnected, influence each other, and work closely together under the direct or indirect regulation and control of the nervous system, making the human body a complete and unified organism and realizing and maintaining normal life activities. At the same time, the human body lives in a constantly changing environment. The nervous system can sense changes in the external environment and continuously make rapid and perfect adjustments to various functions in the body, enabling the human body to adapt to changes in the internal and external environment. It can be seen that the nervous system plays a leading regulatory role in human life activities. The human nervous system is highly developed, especially the cerebral cortex, which has not only evolved into the highest center for regulating and controlling human activities, but also evolved into an organ capable of thinking activities. Therefore, human beings can not only adapt to the environment, but also understand and transform the world.

2. Main Functions

⒈The nervous system regulates and controls the functional activities of other systems, making the body a complete and unified whole.

⒉ The nervous system adjusts the body's functional activities to enable the body to adapt to the ever-changing external environment and maintain the balance between the body and the external environment.

⒊ In the long process of human evolution and development, the nervous system, especially the cerebral cortex, has been highly developed, giving rise to language and thinking. Humans can not only passively adapt to changes in the external environment, but also actively understand and transform the objective world and make nature serve humans. This is the most important feature of the human nervous system.

After reading the above introduction to the anatomy of the nervous system, you will understand the concept and main functions of the nervous system. The reason why humans can adapt to and transform the world is also due to the nervous system's ability to regulate itself after being stimulated by the outside world. The nervous system is a very sensitive part of the human evolution process and it is also a part that develops and changes rapidly.
