Function
- Interprets information from the receptors
- controls the movement of skeletal muscles in voluntary activities
- the site of intelligence such as learning
- coordinating centre for body movement.
- receives information regarding position of the body
- maintain homeostasis
- centre for regulating body temperature, water balance and blood
pressure.
- controls involuntary actions of the body that do not require
conscious effort e.g. : breathing , coughing, vomiting

Functions Neurones
Carry sensory information from receptor cells into Efferent neurones
the brain and spinal cord

Carry information from the brain or spinal cord to Afferent neurones

effectors
Convey impulses between various parts of the brain Interneurons
and spinal cord
