Introduction

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior, cognition, and


emotion.
Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the
scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychology also
refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of
human activity, including relating to individuals' daily lives and the
treatment of mental illness.
The physical structure of the body plays an important role in the
behavior of an individual. The most important physical structure for
psychologists is the nervous system. The nervous system carries
orders from the brain and spinal cord to various glands and muscles, it
also carries signals from stimuli receptors to the spinal cord and brain.
If you wanted to blink your eye a signal would be created in the brain,
then it would be transported by neurons to the muscle controlling the
eyelid.
