Explanation:

This problem is about the nervous system, which falls under Biology (a subfield of Natural Science). For the first fill - in (CNS controls most functions of the _ and _), the CNS controls the body and mind (or more accurately, the body and the mind - related functions, but in anatomical terms, it's the body and the mind's control, and the CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord. For the second fill - in about the nervous system's components, the nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body. The nerves carry the messages (signals) to and from the brain, so the brain can receive them and initiate action. For the function - joining: "Your nervous system is your body's command centre"; "Originating from your brain it controls your movements, thoughts and automatic responses to the world around you"; "It also controls other body systems and processes such as digestion, breathing, feeling or thinking".

Answer:

1. Function - joining:

• Your nervous system \(\boldsymbol{\text{is your body's command centre}}\)
• Originating from your brain it controls your \(\boldsymbol{\text{movements, thoughts and automatic responses to the world around you}}\)
• It also controls other body systems and processes such as \(\boldsymbol{\text{digestion, breathing, feeling or thinking}}\)

1. Fill - in the blanks:

• The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the \(\boldsymbol{\text{body}}\) and \(\boldsymbol{\text{mind}}\) (or more precisely, the body's functions and mental functions; anatomically, the body and the areas it controls related to the mind). It consists of two parts: the \(\boldsymbol{\text{brain}}\) and the \(\boldsymbol{\text{spinal cord}}\).
• The nervous system controls everything you do, including breathing, walking, thinking and feeling. This system is made up of your \(\boldsymbol{\text{brain}}\), spinal \(\boldsymbol{\text{cord}}\), and all the \(\boldsymbol{\text{nerves}}\) of your body.
• The \(\boldsymbol{\text{nerves}}\) carry the \(\boldsymbol{\text{messages (signals)}}\) to and from the \(\boldsymbol{\text{brain}}\), so the \(\boldsymbol{\text{brain}}\) can \(\boldsymbol{\text{receive}}\) them and \(\boldsymbol{\text{initiate}}\) action.
