The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. The brain, spinal cord, and nerves make up the nervous system. Together they control all the workings of the body. When something goes wrong with a part of the nervous system there is trouble moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning. It also affects memory, senses, or mood.
