Nervous System

Our body is controlled by our brain. The brain has messengers called nerves to send the instructions to and from the sense organs. The brain and nerves make up our nervous system.

Circulatory System

Heart is the pumping organ of our body. It sends blood (red liquid) to various organs. Blood is the carrier of food to the different organs of our body from which our body gets energy to perform various functions.
