pathways of information transfer

Information transfer in the body occurs mainly through the nervous system. Sensory receptors detect changes or stimuli (like heat or touch) and send electrical signals through neurons (nerve cells) to the brain or spinal cord. The brain processes these signals to understand what’s happening, then sends instructions back via neurons to muscles or organs. This communication happens along specialized pathways called nerve circuits, ensuring quick and precise responses. Essentially, information travels rapidly along these pathways, allowing your body to react appropriately to changes in your environment.
