Detailed explanation-1: -How Does the Nervous System Work? The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body. Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network. Different neurons have different jobs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spinal nerves connect the brain with the nerves in most parts of the body. Other nerves go directly from the brain to the eyes, ears, and other parts of the head. This network of nerves carries messages back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -When neurons communicate, the neurotransmitters from one neuron are released, cross the synapse, and attach themselves to special molecules in the next neuron called receptors. Receptors receive and process the message, then send it on to the next neuron. 4. Eventually, the message reaches the brain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body. All neurons relay information to each other through a complex electrochemical process, making connections that affect the way you think, learn, move, and behave.
Detailed explanation-5: -The spinal cord carries messages back and forth between the brain and the nerves that run throughout the body.
