The Nervous System

The nervous system is the body's communication network, allowing different parts to send and receive information. It consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system), which process data, and nerves that branch out to the rest of the body (peripheral nervous system). It controls functions like movement, sensations, thoughts, and emotions, and helps maintain balance and respond to changes in the environment. Think of it as a complex messaging system that coordinates everything your body does, from blinking to complex decision-making, ensuring efficient functioning and adaptability.
