definition: The nervous system is the system in your body that is made up mostly of your nerves and your brain. Nerves are long, very thin fibers that carry messages between your brain and other parts of your body. Your nervous system gives your body its sense of touch. It also sends signals from your brain to your muscles to make them move.
Without your nervous system, you would not be able to feel anything or move your body. If you touched something hot, you would not know that it was hot. If you cut your foot, you would not feel any pain.
