Everything your body does is connected in some way to your nervous system.
Made up of billions of nerve cells called neurons, your nervous system is what lets you do everything from breathe to walk to dream. It has two main parts: the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system .Your nervous system works both on autopilot and with you in control. A voluntary action is something that takes conscious thought, like when you walk or clap your hands. That uses the somatic nerves.
They make things that happen in sequence possible, like walking and dancing, learning patterns, forming habits, and stopping activities then starting new ones. Damaged basal ganglia cause Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.Your cerebellum oversees complicated movements, posture, and balance. It coordinates different muscle groups and fine-tunes movements with practice, like hitting a golf ball or hockey puck. Because of it, walking can be a smooth, continuous motion.
