The nervous system controls everything you do, including breathing, walking, thinking, and feeling. This system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body. The brain is the control center and the spinal cord is the major highway to and from the brain.

Nerves are a collection of neurons, which are the individual nerve cells.

The main 2 types of nerves are sensory nerves and motor nerves:

1. Autonomic nerves. These nerves control the involuntary or partially voluntary activities of your body, including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation.

2.Sensory nerves also known as afferent nerves, carry impulses from sensory receptors towards the brain.

3.Motor nerves also known as efferent nerves, carry impulses away from the brain to muscles and glands.
