Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The nervous system has three overlapping functions based on sensory input, integration, and motor output. At a more integrative level, the primary function of the nervous system is to control and communicate information throughout the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -A sensory neuron picks up stimuli from the internal or external environment and converts each stimulus into a nerve impulse.
