The Nervous System-Nerves

Explain how the nervous system processes stimuli.

• The nervous system processes stimuli by transmitting signals through neurons.

• The nervous system processes stimuli by using hormones to communicate between cells.

• The nervous system processes stimuli by converting them into chemical signals in the brain.

• The nervous system processes stimuli by storing them in the spinal cord for later use.
