The
nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates
and coordinates body activities. It is made up of two major
divisions:
- central
nervous system - consisting of the brain and spinal
cord
- peripheral
nervous system - consisting of all other neural elements
In
addition to the brain and spinal cord, principal organs of
the nervous system are:
 |
eyes |
 |
ears |
 |
sensory
organs of taste |
 |
sensory
organs of smell |
 |
sensory
receptors in skin, joints, muscles, and other parts
of the body |
The
nervous system is vulnerable to various disorders. Because
of its complexity and the high technology used in evaluation
and treatment of its disorders, the branches of medicine,
physician specialists, and clinical services that manage it
are as numerous and varied as the disorders and conditions.
We
provide comprehensive care for people who suffer from clinical
conditions of the nervous system. From headaches to epilepsy,
neuralgia to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Parkinson's
disease to Bell's palsy, our neurology, neurosurgery, and
rehabilitation medicine programs offer the latest options
in care to the people of this community. |
