Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and ganglia make up the peripheral nervous system. The afferent division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses to the CNS; the efferent division carries impulses away from the CNS.
Detailed explanation-3: -It controls intelligence, memory, personality, emotion, speech, and ability to feel and move. It is divided into left and right hemispheres, linked by a band of nerve fibres in the centre of the brain called the corpus callosum. Each hemisphere is divided into 4 lobes, or sections, which are all connected.
