The nervous system controls everything in your body and helps you think, feel, and move. It has two parts: the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves throughout the body). The brain is the thinking center with billions of neurons. It communicates with the body through the peripheral nervous system, letting you move and feel things. The autonomic nervous system keeps your heart beating and other important functions going, all without you thinking about it. The nervous system's job is to help you interact with the world and adapt to different situations. It's like your body's supercomputer, making everything work together.
