About Nervous System
The nervous system is the way the body transmits information from the senses and the outside world to the brain, and back. The human nervous system consists of the brain, spine, and the nerves.
About Muscle
There are over 600 muscles in the body. They do everything from pumping blood throughout your body to helping you lift heavy objects. You control some of your muscles, while others (like your heart) do their jobs without your even thinking about them at all. Muscles are the tissues in the body that contract and affect the movement of and within the body. Muscle tissue is classified as striated, smooth, or cardiac, according to its structure and function.
