Nerves are like tiny roads inside your body. They help messages travel really fast from one place to another. Imagine if you touch something hot, a message zooms along these roads to your brain saying, ‘Ouch, that’s hot!’ Your brain then quickly sends a message back telling your hand to move away.
Think of nerves as telephone wires. Just like how a phone call travels through wires to reach another phone, nerves carry signals from your body to your brain and back. These signals help you feel things, move your muscles, and even know when you’re hungry or sleepy.
Nerves are also like little mail carriers. They pick up messages from different parts of your body, like your skin, eyes, or ears, and deliver them to your brain. Your brain reads these messages and tells your body what to do next. It’s like having a super-fast mail service that never stops working, even when you’re asleep!
