NERVOUS SYSTEM
Keywords:
nervous system, brain, spinal cord, neuron, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, neural communication, neural diseases, neuralgia, neuritis, radiculitis, poliomyelitis, stroke, nervous disorders, prevention, neurorehabilitation, neuroscience, stress, sleep, healthy lifestyle, vaccination, mental health, homeostasis, neurotechnologyAbstract
The article reveals the structure and significance of the nervous system, which includes the central (the brain and spinal cord) and peripheral parts. It describes the structure of the neuron — the basic unit of the nervous system — and explains how neurons ensure communication between organs and coordinate the functioning of the entire body. The article also provides descriptions of common nervous system diseases such as neuralgia, neuritis, radiculitis, poliomyelitis, and stroke, outlining their causes, symptoms, and consequences. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of modern neuroscience research and preventive care in maintaining nervous system health. The article concludes with recommendations for prevention and strengthening of the nervous system: maintaining a daily routine, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, avoiding bad habits, engaging in physical activity, managing stress, and getting vaccinated.
