The nervous system is unique in the sense that it receives literally millions of bits of information from different sense organs and integrates of these to determine the response to be made by the body. The information from the receptors over the entire surface of the body and deep structures enters the central nervous system through the spinal cord nerves at all levels, including the reticular substance of the medulla, pons, and me encephalon, the cerebellum, the thalamus and soma esthetic areas of the cerebral cortex.

Additionally the signals are relayed to essentially all other parts of the nervous system as well, beyond the multiple primary sensory areas called the somatic portion of the sensory system. The ultimate role of the nervous system is control of body activities through control of skeletal muscles and control of the smooth muscles in the internal organs secretions( both exocrine and endocrine glands), in various parts of the body.

A major function of the nervous system is to process the incoming information in such a way that appropriate motor response occur. This goal is achieved by discarding 99% of all sensory information as irrelevant or unimportant and channeling the selected sensory information into proper motor regions of the brain to cause the desired response.
