Update by Trevor, Alec, and Ethan


The nervous system in our body is the way we react to things like pain, laughing, etc. One nerve can be up to 2 feet long! But, it could also be microscopic. Our spinal cord is just a big bundle of neurons (nerves). If our spinal cord is broken it could cause major problems to our nervous system. There are millions of neurons in our body. The neurons have many parts like the nucleus, axon, myelin sheath, and dendrites.
Here are some suggestions for people who don't exercise. Exercise has a massive effect on your body especially the brain. Exercise helps the brain calm down. Exercise also helps organize your thoughts. And believe it our not it improves your memory. Exercise can increase a person's ability to plan and organize thoughts. The more exercise you get, the farther you will be able to run and you will become less tired. So those are some reasons you should exercise more.
