Learning about the Nervous System

by Martha V. Gold

The nervous system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord and nerves. It is responsible for telling the heart to beat, the lungs to breathe, and the muscles to move. The brain, the central command center, processes everything from understanding a teacher's instructions to enjoying a piece of chocolate cake. Readers will discover more about how this remarkable system controls virtually every part of the human body.
