Neural Communication

Think about how a baseball team successfully plays a game. Does one person enable the whole team to win, or does every player have a job that contributes to the overall success? As you know, it takes many team members to play baseball: pitchers, catchers, infielders, and outfielders. There is even a manager to help coach team members on the best way to play the game.

Imagine that your body is a baseball team. This team also has a very important coach to help manage its functions: the nervous system. The nervous system has nerve cells that tell every other system, organ, and tissue in your body what to do.
