Overview of the Human Nervous System

The human nervous system is the control system of the body, divided into the central and peripheral nervous systems. It processes stimuli through a series of steps involving sensory organs, nerve impulses, and responses, which can be either controlled or automatic. Examples of controlled actions include communication and thinking, while out-of-control actions include breathing and digestion.
