The nervous system has three general functions: a sensory function, an interpretative function and a motor function. 1. Sensory nerves gather information from inside the body and the outside environment. The nerves then carry the information to the central nervous system (CNS). 2. Sensory information brought to the CNS is processed and interpreted. 3. Motor nerve cells convey information from the CNS to the muscles and glands of the body. The nervous system is responsible for coordinating all of the body's activities.
