The neurological system structure comprises of two components: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The neurological system includes the nerves and specialized cells referred to as neutrons. Neutrons conduct electrochemical stimulation from the sensory receptors to the location where the response occurs. The nervous system is essential in regulating body functions such as muscle contraction for movement and sensory information such as smell. The changes in the neurological system associated with age include structural, functional, and behavioral changes.
Moreover, these changes are caused by a decrease in neurons and the brain’s weight. There are three main areas where the ag...
