NERVOUS
Nervous system  runs though our entire body. This is our messenger system.

 When we want to move our fingers to type, our brain sends a message to our arms, hands and fingers and they move the way we want them to.

The brain is like a big control center and the nervous system is like little speedy messengers running messages from different parts of the body, to the brain, and back to the body part as quick as a blink.

For example, if you accidentally fall into a pool in the middle of winter, your body's nervous system will run a message to your brain to get out of that pool before you freeze to death.
