he nervous system is the communication network of the body. It consists of a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells‚ called neurons‚ that transmit messages across the different parts of the body in order for it to function and react correctly. They are known as the building blocks of the nervous system. Structurally they have long extensions that extend out from the cell body. There are two types of these extensions; dendrites‚ which are extensions of the neurons that receive signals

NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ sensory organs‚ and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. Together‚ these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts.

The sensory nerves and sense organs of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) monitor conditions
