  1. Where is the nervous system? Or are there different sites where nerves are?

  2. Izzy,

    The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and autonomic nerves. It coordinates all movements, thoughts and sensations that you have.

    Sensory neurons have long axons and transmit nerve impulses from sensory receptors all over the body to the central nervous system. Interneurons make up the brain and the spinal cord.
