Answer 2

What facts? The nervous system is made of nerve cells. The brain and spinal cord comprise the central nervous system. There is the autonomic nervous system that controls involuntary functions. The brain is divided into two hemispheres. There is the limbic system which contains the amygdala, the hippocampus, the hypothalamus and other organs.

If you need facts about the nervous system, you really need to be either a bit more specific, or is is just general basic information that you are looking for, such as that the nervous system is responsible for all of our senses and for muscle control and such?

Answer 3

I have my masters degree in neuroimmunology but you may need to get a bit more specific. The nervous system is VERY detailed and the field is VERY large. Generally speaking, you have nerve cells (neurons) they consist of a cell body, axon and dendrites...actually, rather than getting into it on here, just check out this site.
