Brain

I have learned that different from other cells, though neurons have a different characteristic, it has communication ability with other cells, and it transfers information for long distances. Many of the neurons in the body take delivery of signals from the environment and transmit the message of nervous system to other target cells and muscles. Still, the massive most of the neurons to only communicate with other neurons with the complicated system of information that controls behaviour. For instance, the information concerning the pain go through axons in the arm and hand that have an adequately thick coating of myelin, fastening the pain message to the brain so that one can respond immediately. A neuron is a nerve cell that consists of the nervous system. The cells have hereditary material that determines the behaviour of the cell. This means that one inherits different types of behaviours from their parents.

Two parts consist of the nervous system; the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is the nerves network connecting the spinal cord and the brain to other body parts, while the central nervous system is only the spinal cord and the brain. Understanding the brain is vital in assessing how the brain, acquires, perceives and stores information. Understanding the brain helps people relate with each other better and also assist psychologists in improving stress management skills and decision making. For instance, a psychologist may be able to predict the future by understanding the past behaviour. One of the nervous system disorders that I would choose to discuss is Cerebral palsy because it most significantly affects children. It is a condition that affects the ability to control muscles due to nervous system damage, before or during or after birth. I would choose this nervous disorder as it the most common disability in childhood (Healthdirect, 2020).
