Nervous System
The nervous system is the main control center for the
entire body. It sends and receives messages using
electrical impulses that are passed between nerve cells called neurons. The nervous system is made up of two parts:
Central Nervous System
- includes the brain and spinal
cord
Peripheral Nervous System - includes the nerves throughout the
body
Your nervous system has two main functions:
1. Orders are sent from the brain to body organs and
tissues along motor neurons
2. Information about the body's condition or the
environment is sent to the brain
along sensory
neurons. This information is obtained using the 5 senses
