The CNS is comprised of the brain and spinal cord; the PNS connects the CNS to the rest of the body. In this section, we focus on the peripheral nervous system; later, we look at the brain and spinal cord.

It is the center of consciousness and also controls all voluntary and involuntary movement and bodily functions. It communicates with each part of the body through the nervous system, a network of channels that carry electrochemical signals.

The brain, part of the central nervous system along with the spinal cord, is divided into two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. The text also discusses brain plasticity and how studying brain damage, such as strokes, contributes to understanding brain function.

It explains that while physical growth, like getting taller and heavier, is universal, it varies significantly among individuals due to factors like genetics and nutrition. Charts can help track normal growth patterns. The development of gross and fine motor skills is described, highlighting the importance of brain-muscle coordination.

The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS encompasses other neural elements. Neurons and glial cells are the primary cell types in nervous tissue. Neurons have a soma and processes like axons and dendrites. CNS structures with cell bodies are called nuclei, while in the PNS, they are ganglia. Axonal bundles are tracts in the CNS and nerves in the PNS.
