Nervous system
The nervous system is the body’s monitoring, communication and direction system. It gathers information, centralises, collates and processes that information and then directs organs in the body to adjust their operations to make optimise operating conditions within the body. To do this it uses nerve cells called neurons. Neurons form a messaging network throughout the body that use ions to create electrical messages.
