The devil is in the details. Together the spinal cord and the brain form the central nervous system (CNS). It is connected to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which includes the nerves in our extremities. But, there are big differences between the two. Firstly the nervous cells (neurons) in CNS and PNS differ in ways such as their potential to regenerate. And, there are more cell types in the nervous system than just neurons. For a long time, those glial cells were regarded as mainly supporting cells (âgliaâ is ancient Greek name for glue).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Power brakes are a system of hydraulics used to slow down or stop most motor vehicles. It uses a combination of mechanical components to multiply the force applied to the brake pedal by the driver into enough force to actuate the brakes and stop a vehicle that can weigh several tons. The brake pedal is connected to the vacuum booster which is the first step of the force multiplication. The booster passes the force to the master cylinder which compresses a liquid and forces it through the brake lines to the brakes themselves.
