Document Summary

Nervous system: the nervous system is involved in coordination, monitoring and controlling of voluntary and involuntary actions, ce(cid:374)tral (cid:374)er(cid:448)ous s(cid:455)ste(cid:373) (cid:894)cns(cid:895, brai(cid:374, spi(cid:374)al (cid:272)ord, peripheral (cid:374)er(cid:448)ous s(cid:455)ste(cid:373) (cid:894)pns(cid:895, ner(cid:448)e, ganglion.

The plane that divides the two brain hemispheres in half, cutting through medial longitudinal fissure.

Cerebrospinal fluid (csf: brai(cid:374) is also protected and cushioned by csf, su(cid:271)arachnoid space which is between the arachnoid and pia mater is filled with csf, csf is produced in the ventricles, which are cavities inside brain. As we get older the brain weight decreases, increases from baby.
