• Central Nervous System (CNS): The boss of our nervous system. It consists of the brain and spinal cord.
• Spinal Cord: Think of it as the information highway between your brain and body parts.
• Spinal Nerves: There are 31 pairs of these nerves connecting different body parts to the spinal cord.
• White Matter vs Grey Matter: These are two key parts of the spinal cord which help in transmitting and processing info.

Comprises

• 🧠 Brain: Think of this as the CEO of your body.
• 🦴 Spinal Cord: Located inside the backbone, it's like the main highway for messages.

• Location: Tucked inside the vertebral column (backbone).
• Shape: Wide at the top (where it meets the brain) and tapers as it goes down towards your bum.
• It's like a branching tree, with 31 pairs of spinal nerves spreading left and right from it. Each pair serves a different region of your body—kind of like how different highways take you to different places.

• White Matter: Contains myelinated axons and other nerve fibres.
  • Job: Transfer signals from sensors to the brain & vice-versa. Imagine this as high-speed internet cables!
• Grey Matter: Contains cell bodies of motor neurons and interneurons.
  • Cool Feature: Packed with synapses for processing information and decision-making. It's like a mini-computer within the spinal cord!
