Well our nervous system is what receives all this information captured by the senses, interprets it and responds to each situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The nervous system has special cells called neurons and it is\u00a0divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The skull is where the brain is located, as well as the cerebellum and the brain stem. The brain occupies the largest part of the skull and is in charge of controlling our memory, emotions and voluntary actions such as reading, writing or jumping.<br \/>\nThe cerebellum also coordinates our balance as well as our movements. It is because of it that we are not constantly falling down, thank you cerebellum!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The brain stem links the brain to the spinal cord and controls the automatic actions such as our heart beat or the blinking of our eyes, which happens without us even realizing it.<br \/>\nThe spinal cord is another part of the central nervous system. It is within our spine and is almost like a highway connecting the brain to all the bodies\u2019 nerves. The spinal cord is responsible for all the reflexes, like when you touch something hot, we pull our hand away<br \/>\ninstinctively, without even thinking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The peripheral nervous system is a set of nerves which travel around our body and is divided in two major parts: sensory nerves and musculoskeletal system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sensory nerves carry information received by the five senses to the brain; the musculoskeletal system transmits the brain\u2019s responses allowing the muscles to perform. So if we were to fall into the water, for example, the automatic system would send a message to our muscles ordering us to swim and get out of the water, thank goodness, because otherwise we would drown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well now you know about the nervous system, it\u2019s real interesting isn\u2019t it?<br \/>\nGoodbye Friends and don\u2019t forget to subscribe to Happy Learning TV.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nervous system has special cells called neurons and it is divided in two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
