The nervous system has several important functions: 1. It regulates and coordinates the activities of all body organ systems. 2. It governs conscious activities like thinking, reasoning, and learning. 3. It is responsible for emotions like love, anger, and fear. 4. It controls involuntary functions of some organs like heartbeat, breathing, and digestion. 5. It helps interpret and respond to messages from the senses. 6. It is responsible for reflex actions.
