Guide To Serious Nervous System Disorders

The nervous system is the organ system responsible for the coordination and regulation of an individual's body activities. There are two primary divisions of an individual's nervous system: the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system consists of all of the nerves and neural elements around the body that are not part of the spinal cord and brain. The central nervous system refers to all the nerves and neural components included in the spinal cord and brain. Other components of the nervous system include the ears, smell sensory organs, skin sensory receptors, eyes, taste sensory organs, and muscle sensory receptors. When there is a problem with the structure and or function of any components of the nervous system, it is referred to as a nervous system disorder.
