3. Introduction Nerves are cylindrical bundles of fibers beginning at the brain and the central cord and extending to some other part of thebody. Major new epidemiological analyzesfocus attention on nervous system disorders as important causes of death and disabilityworldwide The nervous system is a sophisticated, complex system which controls and regulates the activities of thebody. Contd..

4. Two Main Divisions ofNervous System PERIPHERAL NERVOUSSYSTEM It comprises of all other neural elements, including the autonomic nerves and the peripheralnerves. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM It comprises of the spinal cord and thebrain. The nervous system's main organs include: sensory organs of smell and taste sensory receptors located in the joints, muscles, skin,etc.

5. Functions ofNervous System The thinking ability and reason and the nervoussystem makes you aware and has language, memories andthoughts. Feeling, smell, taste, hearing andsight. Involuntary and voluntary functions, such as balance coordination andmovement. Blood flow and blood pressure, are often controlled by the nervoussystem.

6. Causes and RiskFactors The nervous system is susceptible to numerous disorders including blood flow, disruption, tumors, structural defects, degeneration, infections andtrauma. Degeneration, such as Alzheimer disease, Huntington chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and Parkinsondisease. Functional disorders, such as neuralgia, dizziness, epilepsy andheadache. Contd..

7. Vascular disorders, such as extradural hemorrhage,subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack andstroke Structural disorders, such asGuillain-Barré syndrome,peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord or brain tumors, carpal tunnel syndrome,etc. Infections, such as epidural abscess, polio, encephalitis andmeningitis.

8. Symptoms ofNervous System Disorder Symptoms of a problem with the nervous system depend on which region of the nervous system is affected and what triggers theissue. Systematic search, Problems with the nervous system may suddenly occur and cause life-threatening problems or develop gradually and induce a progressive loss offunction. Symptoms can be mild orsevere. Symptoms can also include new l anguageimpairment, slurred speech and muscle wasting, back pain which radiates to the toes, tremors and seizures, lack of coordination, impaired mental ability,etc.

9. Diagnosing Nervous System Disorders There are different examinations and methods for the treatment of nervous systemdisorders. A specialized X-ray called a fluoroscopy, in addition to the traditional X-ray, examines the body in motion, such as blood flowing througharteries. 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 ortumors.

10. Treatment forNervous System Disorders Spinalsurgery. Rehabilitation/physical therapy after brain injury orstroke. Spinal cordstimulation. Deep brainstimulation. Medicines, possibly given by a drugpumps

11. Prevention from Nervous System Disorders To keep your body and nervous system healthy, followthe Guidelinesbelow: Never smoke or use any other tobacco products. Do not consume alcohol or unwanteddrugs. Limit the consumption of caffeinated drinks such as colas andcoffee. Do dailyexercise. Drink abundant water and other liquids. Eat a healthydiet.

12. Conclusion Disorders of the nervous system which trigger the highest death and disability levels can be treatable andpreventable. Increased awareness of neurologicaldisorders' global effects should help healthcareplanners. The neurological community set adequate research, prevention and management priorities for theseconditions.
