Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The nervous system carries blood.
A
true
B
false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nerves have large “capillary” containers that are significantly larger than any other capillary system. This system has been likened to a “living container.” These capillaries not only transport the blood but store the blood at the same time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nerves are like cables that carry electrical impulses between your brain and the rest of your body. These impulses help you feel sensations and move your muscles. They also maintain certain autonomic functions like breathing, sweating or digesting food. Nerve cells are also called neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Beyond the supply of blood, the CNS filters that blood into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is then circulated through the cavities of the brain and spinal cord called ventricles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your nervous system is your body’s command center. Originating from your brain, it controls your movements, thoughts and automatic responses to the world around you. It also controls other body systems and processes, such as digestion, breathing and sexual development (puberty).
