The central nervous system (CNS) is a division of the nervous system whose function is to analyze and integrate various intra- and extrapersonal information, as well as to generate a coordinated response to these stimuli. Put simply, the CNS is the supreme command center of the body.
Your central nervous system looks like a balloon. Your brain is the round, inflated balloon. Your spinal cord is the string attached to the balloon. Your brain and spinal cord are held within bone structures, connective tissue (meninges) and fluid (cerebrospinal fluid), which protects them.

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. It acts as the body’s control center, processing sensory information and directing responses. The CNS coordinates voluntary activities, like movement, and involuntary ones, such as breathing and heartbeat.
The Central Nervous System (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord, forming the core of the body’s nervous system. It is responsible for integrating sensory information, coordinating responses, and controlling most functions of the body and mind.
Central Nervous System Diagram. Central Nervous System Function. Coordination and Movement. The primary function of the central nervous system is integration and coordination. The CNS receives input from a variety of different sources, and implements an appropriate response to the stimuli, in a cohesive manner.
A map over the different structures of the nervous systems in the body, showing the CNS, PNS, autonomic nervous system, and enteric nervous system. The PNS consists of neurons, axons, and Schwann cells. Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells have similar functions in the CNS and PNS, respectively.
