How does the brain communicate with the body?
The brain communicates with the body through the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of neurons that transmit messages to and from the brain. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals to other cells in the body. When a stimulus is detected, such as touch or sound, the sensory neurons send signals to the brain for processing. Motor neurons then carry signals from the brain to the muscles, causing them to contract and control movements. The nervous system also controls other bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, and digestion. Overall, the brain and nervous system work together to enable the body to react to and interact with its environment.
