Introduction
Nerves are cylindrical bundles of fibers beginning at the 
 brain and the central cord and extending to some 
other  part of the body.
Major new e pidemiological analyzes focus attention on  
nervous system disorders as important causes of death 
 and disability worldwide
The nervous system is a sophisticated, complex system 
 which controls and regulates the activities of the body.

Two Main  
Divisions  CENTRAL PERIPHERAL  
NERVOUS  SYSTEM NERVOUS 
of SYSTEM
Nervous  It comprises of the spinal cord  and the brain. It comprises of all other  
System neural elements, 
The nervous system's main  including  the autonomic 
organs include: sensory  nerves and  the 
organs of smell and taste  peripheral nerves.
sensory receptors located 
in  the joints, muscles, skin, 
etc.
Functions  
of Nervous 
The thinking ability and reason and the nervous system
 System makes you aware and has language, memories and thoughts.
Feeling, smell, taste, hearing and sight.
Involuntary and voluntary functions, such as balance 
 coordination and movement.
Blood flow and blood pressure, are often controlled by the 
 nervous system.
Causes and  
Risk Factors The nervous system is susceptible to numerous disorders 
 including blood flow, disruption, tumors, structural defects, 
 degeneration, infections and trauma.
D egeneration, such as Alzheimer disease, Huntington  
chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and 
 Parkinson disease.
Functional disorders, such as neuralgia, dizziness, 
 epilepsy and headache.
Contd..
Vascular disorders, such as extradural hemorrhage, subarachnoid
hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack and stroke
Structural disorders, such asGuillain-Barré syndrome, peripheral
neuropathy, spinal cord or brain tumors, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
I nfections, such as epidural abscess, polio, encephalitis and 
meningitis.
Symptoms Symptoms of a problem with the nervous system depend  
 of on which region of the nervous system is affected and what 
 triggers the issue.
Nervous  
System  Systematic search, Problems with the nervous system may  
suddenly occur and cause life-threatening problems or  
Disorder develop gradually and induce a progressive loss of function.
Symptoms can be mild or severe.
Symptoms can also include new  language impairment, 
 slurred speech and muscle wasting, back pain which  
radiates to the toes, tremors and seizures, lack of  
coordination, impaired mental ability, etc.
Diagnosin There are different examinations and methods for the 
 treatment of nervous system disorders.
g  Nervous 
 System  A specialized X-ray called a fluoroscopy, in addition to the 
 traditional X-ray, examines the body in motion, such as  
Disorders blood flowing through arteries.
Other standard neurological exams include a CT 
 scan,electroencephalogram (EEG) and 
magnetic  resonance imaging (MRI).
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a procedure that  
measures metabolism and brain activity of cells or tissues to 
 detect tumors or tissues or tumors.
Treatment  
for Nervous Spinal surgery.
 System  Rehabilitation/physical therapy after brain injury or stroke.
Disorders
Spinal cord stimulation.
Deep brain stimulation.
Medicines, possibly given by a drug pumps
Prevention 
 from  To keep your body and nervous system healthy, follow the Guidelines below:
Nervous  
System  Never smoke or use any other tobacco products. 
 Do not consume alcohol or unwanted drugs.
Disorders Limit the consumption of caffeinated drinks such as colas 
 and coffee.
Do daily exercise.
Drink abundant water and other liquids. 
 Eat a healthy diet.
Conclusion
Disorders of the nervous system which trigger the highest  
death and disability levels can be treatable and preventable.
Increased awareness of n eurological disorders' 
global  effects should help healthcare planners.
The neurological community set adequate r esearch,  
prevention and management priorities for these conditions.
