How does the nervous system work?
The nervous system works by absorbing information through
the senses processing that information through a central brain and
using the information to trigger reactions throughout the rest of the
body. The billions of nerve cells called neurons that are connected to
each other and the other cells in the body transmit the information. In
terms of function the nervous system can be separated into the
voluntary and involuntary nervous system. The nervous system is a
network of nerve cells and nerve fibers that transmit nerve impulses
between parts of the body.

of the nervous system. The functions of the sensory nerve is the nerve

is also known as the sensory neurons. The efferent neurons does the
opposite it carries signals away from the center of the nervous
system. The sensory neurons have special neurons that detects your
environment. The sensory neurons are located in the clusters and in
the dorsal root ganglia. Did you know that the sensory neurons
change light, touch, and sound into neural signals.
