Central Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord. The brain receives sensory information from the nerves that pass through the spinal cord, as well as other nerves such as those from sensory organs involved in sight and smell. Once received, the brain processes the sensory signals and initiates responses. The spinal cord is the principle route for the passage of sensory information to and from the brain.
Information flows to the central nervous system from the peripheral nervous system , which senses signals from the environment outside the body (sensory-somatic nervous system) and from the internal environment (autonomic nervous system). The brain's responses to incoming information flow through the spinal cord nerve network to the various effector organs and tissue regions where the target responsive action will take place. Diseases that affect the nerves of the central nervous system include rabies, polio, and sub-acute sclerosing pan-encephalitis. Such diseases affect movement and can lead to mental incapacitation. The brain is also susceptible to disease, including toxoplasmosis and the development of empty region due to prions. Such diseases cause a wasting away of body function and mental ability. Brain damage can be so compromised as to be lethal."
Analgesic (Non Opiod)
Non-opioid analgesics are pain medications for mild to moderate pain. Non-opioid analgesics include NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, as well as other analgesics such as acetaminophen and aspirin. These medications also include adjuvant analgesics, which are those that relieve pain even though pain relief is not their primary purpose. Examples include antidepressants and anticonvulsants, both regularly used to treat certain types of chronic pain. Non-opioid analgesics may be short-acting or long-acting pain medications. They may be taken alone for pain management, though they may also be taken in combination with opioids to relieve moderate to severe pain.
