  1. Bme,

    its not actually electric charges, rather the wave of ion flows in and out of the nuerone very quickly. (Sodium and Potassium ions)

    And no, the nervous system inst a transport system.


  2. only iiiif

    your transport system is NERVOUS!

    AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    im funny. i love you.


  3. Nervous System transports electrical charges through neurotransmitter and action potential.  

  4. Yes, the nervous system is a sort of transport system.

    The most distinctive feature of the nervous system is their thin processes, called fibers or axons, which transmit impulses (action potentials) and which contact muscles or glands, or, in most cases, other nerve cells. So the nervous system can be looked upon as an enormous series of ‘chains’ or circuits of neurons, each receiving excitatory and inhibitory messages from other neurons, and each sending impulses along its axon if the balance of incoming signals is in favor of excitation. A typical neuron in the brain may receive 10 000 terminals from incoming axons.
