Motherboard a short explanation of

The Motherboard, also called the Mainboard, or Mobo for short.

It is the large thin rectangular plastic Printed Circuit Board (PCB) into which a large range of electronic components are connected in a PC, and is securely fastened to the Side or bottom of the case.

The Motherboard provides a network of pathways (or Buses) for the CPU to communicate to the various hardware components, and a range of ports for standard peripherals and devices to plug into the PC.

The main pathway for information flow in the motherboard is the Front Side Bus (FSB).

If one views this as part of the human body, the motherboard is therefore likened to the nervous system coupled with the arterial system.
