The Nervous System
Vertebrates all have a dorsal hollow nerve cord. It forms on the dorsal side of the embryo as the neural tube. The brain and the spinal cord derive from the neural tube.

The Central Nervous System
The Central Nervous System is made up of your brain, and your spinal cord. It is the main control center of your body, and the center of thought.
A regulatory system of the body that consists of neurons and neuroglial cells. The nervous system is divided into two parts, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
