PPT-Structures of the Nervous System

The nervous system has 2 major components Central Nervous System CNS Peripheral Nervous System PNS The CNS The Central Nervous System includes the brain and the spinal cord They are so important to the human body that they are encased in bone for protection. A. Bacterial Infections of the Nervous System. 1. Bacterial Meningitis. A) Although bacteria can infect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, they more commonly infect the meninges and cerebrospinal fluids resulting in meningitis. Central Nervous System (CNS). Brain and Spinal Cord. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). All other nervous tissue throughout the body. Central Nervous System (CNS). Nerve Tissue:. White Matter or Gray Matter. A.
