Nerves serve an extremely important role in bodily functions. There are pairs of nerves in the nervous system; branching off of the spine, one of the pair extends to the right portion of the body, and the other extends to the left portion of the body. Nerves sense the changes in the outside enviornment, this is called a stimulus. The stimulus then is sent to the sensory nerves where is is carried by internurons to the brain. The brain then processes this information, and it sends it's response through the internurons to the nerves in your muscles. The information is sent from nerve to nerve in the form of a synapse, this is when information is carried from one nerve's dendrite to another's through a chemical 'bridge'. All in all, nerves react to a stimulus by sending information to the brain to be processed. Without the nervous system, muscles, and bones would not be able to move, nor would any organs be able to preform their desired functions.
