Parts of the Nervous System. show/hide words to know. 1  Central nervous system (CNS): a part of the nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord. 2  Parasympathetic nervous system: the part of your nervous system that unconsciously controls your organs and glands when your body is at rest.

One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland (hypophysis). The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus, just above the brainstem and is part of the limbic system. In the terminology of neuroanatomy, it forms the ventral part of the diencephalon. All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. In humans, it is the size of an almond.

The CNS consists of your brain and spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord are inside your skull and vertebrae (the vertebrae make up your backbone). These bones protect the CNS when you get into accidents. The other part of the nervous system is the Peripheral Nervous System (or PNS).

1 The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. 2  The peripheral nervous system is made up of the nerve fibers that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body, including the neck and arms, torso, legs, skeletal muscles and internal organs.

The hypothalamus is responsible for certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones, often called releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones, and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones.

1 Peripheral nervous system (PNS): a part of the nervous system which includes all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. 2  Sympathetic nervous system: The part of your nervous system that unconsciously controls your organs and glands when you're excited or frightened.

The brain sends messages through the spinal cord and nerves of the peripheral nervous system to control the movement of the muscles and the function of internal organs. The basic working unit of the nervous system is a cell called a neuron.

All rights reserved. The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses. The brain is made up of many specialized areas that work together: • The cortex is the outermost layer of brain cells. Thinking and voluntary movements begin in the cortex. • The brain stem is between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain.

The hypothalamus (from Greek ὑπό, under and θάλαμος, room, chamber) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.
