Kesknärvi

Kesknärvi is a term used in Estonian to refer to the central nervous system. The central nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. It is responsible for controlling all bodily functions, from breathing and heart rate to movement and thought. The central nervous system is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.

The brain is the control center of the body and is responsible for processing information, making decisions, and coordinating actions. It is divided into several lobes, each with specific functions. The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the brainstem down the back. It acts as a pathway for signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

The central nervous system is protected by the skull and the vertebral column. Diseases and injuries affecting the central nervous system can have a wide range of symptoms, depending on the location and severity of the damage. These can include paralysis, sensory deficits, cognitive impairments, and behavioral changes. Research into the central nervous system continues to advance our understanding of its intricate workings and potential treatments for neurological disorders.
