Explanation:

• The nervous system controls all the functions of the body through the transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body.

• The nervous system is composed of:

1. Central nervous system: brain, spinal cord
2. Peripheral nervous system: nerves

• Sensory nerves in various parts of the body conduct nerve impulses and transmit the signals to the central nervous system that generates a response that travels through motor neurons to the site of the stimulus.
• Apart from the nervous system that communicates through electrical signals, the endocrine system coordinates body functions through chemical signals.
