The body of a human is very complex. To ensure that different parts work together effectively there is a need of communication. The nervous system is made up of specialized cells that allow body to communicate. They carry information from one part of the body to another. The nervous system regulates complicated processes like thoughts and memory. It also plays an essential role in the things your body does without thinking, like blushing, sweating and blinking. The nervous system keeps track of what's going on inside and outside of your body and decides how to respond to any situation you are in.
Through the sense organs you receive information from the environment. The sense organs include eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin. Information from the sense organs travels along a nerve to the brain. The brain interprets the message. You can see a picture, hear a sound, smell a rose, taste an apple or feel the cold winter air. The human body is made up of different organs. Each of these organs plays its role in carrying out the process that keeps us alive. The functions performed by each part of the body are coordinated. This coordination is brought about by the organ system called nervous system.
