Introduction to the Central Nervous System: Explore your body’s command center!

In this simulation, you will be introduced to the Central Nervous System, your body's command center, which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The central nervous system is responsible for your body's reactions to stimuli from the external environment. Remember that you can access the THEORY section at any moment in your LabPad while playing the simulation.
