===Meaning===
The '''nervous system''' is an [[Organ System|organ system]] which detects changes in the environment and allows the body to respond to those changes.
===About the Nervous System===
: The '''nervous system''' is made of the [[brain]], the [[nerve]]s and the [[Sensory Organ|sensory organs]].
: [[Drug]]s can affect the '''nervous system''' changing they way an [[animal]] senses changes in the environment and how quickly they can respond to them.

===Meaning===
The [[Nervous System]] is an [[Organ System|organ system]] which sends [[Impulse (Biology)|signalselectrical impulses]] around the body to detect changes in the environment and respond to those changes.
===About the Nervous System===
: The '''nervous system''' consists of the [[nerveCentral Nervous System]]s, (made of the [[brain]] and [[Spinal Cord|spinal cord]] and the [[brainPeripheral Nervous System]] (the other [[nerve]] and the [[Sensory Organ|sense organs]]).: The '''nervous system''' coordinates movements of an [[organism]].: [[Stimulant]]s affect the '''nervous system''' by increasing the speed of [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulses]] in the [[nerve]]s. This decreases [[Reaction Time|reaction time]].: [[Depressant]]s affect the '''nervous system''' by decreasing the speed of [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulses]] in the [[nerve]]s. This increases [[Reaction Time|reaction time]]. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471851362/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471851362&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=7d78d70a2044ee9982dae010c94af92a ''Nervous system, pages 1, 2, GCSE Combined Science Trilogy 2, Hodder, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471851338/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471851338&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=425855d5890466e47189e1c21b67a1ea ''Nervous system, pages 131-47, GCSE Biology, Hodder, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782946381/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782946381&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=5ec5fc3f6429e30c1d9ab9bca2bccf93 ''Nervous system, pages 172, 173, 182, 183, GCSE Combined Science Trilogy;
