Nervous System

CNS (brain + spinal cord) + PNS (somatic, autonomic, enteric) — the master regulatory system for sensation, movement, cognition, and homeostasis. Signal velocity 0.5–120 m/s. Neurological diseases are the leading cause of global disability.

Also known as: CNS, PNS, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, autonomic nervous system, somatic nervous system
