The brain is a soft, spongy mass of
nerve and supportive tissue connected to the spinal cord. Nerves in
the brain and spinal cord
transmit messages throughout the body. The brain and spinal cord
together form the central nervous system (CNS).
The central nervous system is the core of our existence. It controls
our personality-thoughts, memory, intelligence, speech and
understanding, emotions; senses-vision, hearing, taste, smell,
touch; basic body functions-breathing, heart beat, blood pressure;
how we function in our environment-movement, balance, coordination.
