Nervous System
Function-
The nervous system is practically the body electrical wiring. The nervous system has nerves, that branch out like spiders throughout the body. This system transmits signals between different parts of the body.
Parts / Organs-
The Nervous system is mostly made up of the brain, spinal cord, and neurons.
Facts-
.Nervous systems can transmit signals up to 100 meters per second!
.Neurons grow at a rate of 250,000 per minutes in a child developing inside a mothers womb.
.A human spinal cord contains about 13,500,000 spider like neurons!
Disorders-
.The nervous system can be damaged by trauma, infections, tumors, blood flow disruption, ect.
.Degeneration such as Alzheimer's disease can damage your nervous system for the rest of your life.
.Also functional disorders such as a headache, dizziness, ect can mess with your nervous system.
Other systems that work with the Nervous System-
Sense the Nervous system contain the brain, the nervous system controls EVERYTHING! All the systems in the human body work with the nervous system! Amazing isn't it?!?!

The Nervous system is mostly made up of the brain, spinal cord, and neurons.
- Spinal Cord- A big old fancy tube of neurons that trickle up to your brain stem. Information from the nerves branch out like crazy spiders that also go up into your spinal cord.
- Brain- The brain is like the president of your body. Your brain is the smartest, most informational center there is!! It's made up of a billion neurons! Your brain stem is linked to your spinal cord and it controls, breathing, digestion, and your heartbeat.
- Neurons- These are cells that make up the nervous system. Creepy long stringy neurons carry electrical messages through the body and into the brain.
