The document is a worksheet about the human nervous system. It is divided into two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body and its functions include coordinating muscular movements with sensory information and maintaining balance. Some key parts of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and thalamus. The spinal cord is located within the vertebral column and functions to connect the brain to the rest of the body.
