If the CPU is the brain of a computer What can be called the nervous system of the computer?"?

Answer 1

Mother Board

Answer 2

'Brain' is just a metaphor that somewhat describes the controlling and processing functions of the Central Processing Unit. I have a lot of elderly and newbie customers to whom computers are a new and alien world. In explaining computer components to them, I like to use a somewhat different analogy... You can think of a computer as an office in a box. Memory is the desk where the work is laid out. The hard, floppy and optical disk drives are storage, like file cabinets. The Internet connection can be thought of as incoming mail or the telephone, offering contact with the outside world. The person sitting at the desk and processing the data and commands retrieved from the file cabinets and laid out on the desk is the CPU. It uses the software commands like a rule book: open this file, put this data here, you're going to need this file to do the next task, etc. According to these commands -- and many of them come from THE BOSS, namely you, sitting at the keyboard and using the mouse -- the CPU does things with the data. Create it, manipulate it, edit it, save it, throw it away... Does that help?

Answer 3

Cables and circuit systems are all the nervous system of the computer, failing which, the whole system becomes dead, as the brain (CPU) can send instructions to other parts of the system only through them.

Answer 4

Well, the brain and the Spinal cord are the central nervous system, so by your logic the CPU is your answer.

The circuit boards and wires of the computer would also be part of the Nervous system.

Answer 5

motherboard and cables are good answers but for some reason im thinking DOS because well cpu is the brain yes but DOS commands tell it what to think. without DOS the cpu couldnt really function

Answer 6

The motherboard and memory. Northbridge and Southbridges are the involuntary controllers for the nervous system and the secondary boards such as the video are the "senses".

Answer 7

The IDE cables which carry the data to and fro from the hard disk to the motherboard or the processor

Answer 8

The operating system.

Answer 9

The circuit system, meaning all printed circuits, wires & connections that connect the various components together.

Answer 10

Ram
