The Nervous System Unit

Studying the nervous system allows students to understand how their bodies process information, respond to their environment and control essential functions like movement, thought, and emotions. By learning about the nervous system, students gain insight into how their brains and nerves work together to regulate everything from simple reflexes to complex decision-making. This knowledge is foundational for understanding human behavior, health, and the science behind how we think, learn, and interact with the world.
