Spinal Tumor Facts - Viewpoints from Expert Doctors

    Central nervous system

    The brain is known to be the maestro of the body, which initiates different movements”. This complex two-lobed organ controls everything in our bodies. It controls thoughts, emotions, touch, memory, motor skills, hunger, breathing, temperature, vision, and every process any human body can possibly do. But the brain doesn’t work alone. Together with the spinal cord, they make up the central nervous system. 

    The brain sends and receives electrical and chemical signals throughout the body. Different signals mean different processes and the brain can interpret them all. Some signals make you feel pain or tiredness, while others make you feel touch.   

    But as we elaborated, the brain doesn’t work alone. It sends its messages through the spine and across the body’s vast network of nerves. These nerves reach the distant extremities of the body.
