ReplyDeleteThe nervous system helps us sense
When we've fallen from a fence.
Knowing if there's sun or rain,
And when our stomach causes pain,
The work of neurons is intense.
Nervous system makes us whole,
ReplyDeleteHelps movements that we control
When we walk
When we talk
Even helps us whack a mole.
The nerve cell is made up of many cool things
ReplyDeleteLike a cell body, synapse, and dendrites which look like tiny wings
There's also the axon which is covered in myelin
The nervous system can be so suprisin'!
Neurons, cells that make up nerves,
ReplyDeleteRun throughout our bodies' curves
All impulses carried
They make our lives varied
They don't get credit they deserve.
The nervous system helps you move
ReplyDeleteSends signals that let you groove
Without it you can't react
Without it your body goes slack
The most important system this seems to prove
