Brain System
The brain is the most complex part of the human body. This three-pound organ is the seat of intelligence, interpreter of the senses, initiator of body movement, and controller of behavior.
Spinal System
The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends down to the tail bone. The spinal cord is the information highway of the body.

Strong, thick, and dense membrane with flat cells

Organs the Spine Interacts With
The spine interacts with the brain, heart, lungs, nerves, and kidneys. The spine pretty much is the center of the body. It transmits information through out the body. The spine tells the limb what to do and when to do it.
