Your nervous system is the controller of your body. It regulates your breathing and control your muscles and also allows you to sense heat and cold. There are three main nerve kinds in your body that are:

• Autonomic nerves that are responsible for controlling the voluntary and involuntary activities of your body such as your blood pressure, heart rate, temperature regulation and digestion.
• The second nerve in your body is the motor nerve. The motor nerve is responsible for controlling the movement and actions in your body. It passes the information between the brain and spinal cord.
• The next set of nerves are sensory nerves. These nerves are responsible for the feelings of pain, touch and any other sensation that is linked with your skin.
