What are the functions of the nervous system?
It is referred to as ‘a system’ because it consists of many layers of increasing complexity. The highest level of course would be what we refer to as ‘the mind’. Examples of lower levels of function would be things like sensory system processing (e.g., visual, touch, smell, taste, hearing, balance) that allows us to receive information about the world we live in; as well as motor systems (for limb movements) that allow us to interact with it. Bodily functions like digestion, respiration, blood circulation, hormone release are also influenced the nervous system.
