About this Course

The central nervous system (CNS) is one of the two principal divisions of the body's nervous system. The nervous system is the body's communication network and control center. Consisting of the brain and the spinal cord,   the CNS is the control center for the entire nervous system. All the sensations of the body are relayed to the central nervous system. All nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract and glands to secrete come from the central nervous system.

This course deals with the anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system, physical assessment of the central nervous system, central nervous system diseases and disorders, seizures, and central nervous system trauma.  It is a suitable foundation course in the central nervous system for technologists and professionals in the medical arts.
