The Dog Nervous SystemThe dog nervous system could be compared with a control central in a certain way, it is in charge of knowing the animal's state and physical condition, and of identifying the environment that surrounds it. It emits the necessary signals for the circumstantial adaptation on one side, coordinating at the same time each of the organs and body systems for them to act according to their own needs at all times. It is divided into several subsystems  which are known as the Central Nervous System, also knows as the neuroaxial system, the peripheral nervous system and the autonomous nervous system, which consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic.Description and Function of the Nervous System

It controls most of the functions in the animal's body, such as respiration, the rhythm and heart activity, the digestive functions, reproduction and thermo regulating; it also acts over the body's balance, the position of it and its movement, the muscular contractions and the sensation of conscience.
