Summary Introduction
To review:
The nature of aphasia and its cause.
Introduction:
Brain is the main part of the body that controls and regulates the entire body with the help of different forms of nerves. The system that includes the coordination between the whole body and the brain through nerves is known as the nervous system. The nervous system includes central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). All voluntary and involuntary activities are controlled by the nervous system.
