| Your nervous
system controls your whole body.
Its main functions are to recieve
and translate impulses, and to
send messages based on thoughts
to other parts of your body. It is
composed of the centeral nervous
system and the peripheral nervous
system. The central
nervous system is your brain and
spinal cord. Theses are where all
your thoughts take place. Your
spinal cord is a lot of nerves
that run through your backbone
and connect to nerves that go to
different places around your
body.
Your
peripheral nervous system
contains nerves that sense
conditions such as heat,
hardness, and roughness. These
nerves connect through motor
nerves to your spinal cord and
brain.
