r * WHAT THE NERVOUS SYSTEM DOES
Gray, in the twentieth edition of his Anatomy, ex- i
plains the functions of the nervous mechanism of the
body as follows:
*|The nervous system is the most complicated and
Highly organized of the various which make
up the human body. It is the mechanism concerned
with the correlation and integration of various bodily
processes and the reactions and adjustments bf the ‘
organism to its environment. In addition, the cerebral
cortex is concerned with conscious life.. The cerebro
spinal nerves are associated with the functions of the
special and general senses and with voluntary move
ments of the body.. The sympathetic nerves transmit
the impulses which regulate the movements of the
v * . i i -> C, . |
viscera (internal organs, such as the heart lungs,
stomach, intestines, etc.) determine the caliber of
blood vessels and control the phenomena of secretion.”
THE MECHANISM OF LIFE
Thus it will be seen that the nervous system not
only controls the special senses, such as sight, hearing,
touch and taste, and all movements of the body, as in
walking, but also controls the functioning of all inter
nal organs, and regulates their activity in manufactur
ing secretions. The function of the nervous system is
to develop and distribute nerve energy in exact pro
portions to the needs of the body.
TVS A.
Disturbance of any one of these functions is an ex
pression of ill health or disease, and herein lies "The
Story of the Spine,” for Chiropractors have found that
it is at the spine in at least ninety per cent of all cases
that such disturbances occur.
THE PART THE SEINE PLAYS IN DISEASE
Through openings between the bones of the spine
pass the spinal nerves which unite the central nervous -
system with various other structures of the body. It
is upon the integrity of these nerves that health de
pends
When one or more of the bones of the spine be
comes slightly out of place it presses upon the nerve ’
and interferes with the passage of nerve energy over X
the nerve to whatever organ is controlled and regu
lated by the affected nerve. The organ is thrown out
of harmony with the remainder of the body, it is ren
dered weak and unable to resist disease.
Where there is no cause there can be no disease.
Chiropratic removes the cause.
