Learning Outcomes

1	The nervous system controls and coordinates functions throughout the body and responds to internal and external stimuli.
2	The nervous system consist of: Brain, spinal cord, nerves and sense organs
3	Nerves work together with muscles for movement. An impulse begins when one neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the sense organs.
4	The brain will then send an impulse through motor neurons to the necessary muscle or organs, telling it to contract.
