From the editor’s desk... Welcome to our fourth issue of kidzlyfe! At kidzlyfe we believe that learning can be both interesting and fun. We believe that by giving children a platform to showcase their talents and share their knowledge they can learn from one another and perfect their skills. Kidzlyfe accepts all articles and artwork from children of primary school age but only the best get to be featured. We believe that they will motivate their readers to write, draw and/or think as best as their contributors. In conclusion, I would like to thank all parents for their support in the making of this magazine and encourage all parents to allow their children to forward their work to us. God bless you.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system is responsible for receiving, processing and transmitting information which the body needs to coordinate all it’d activities. The body constantly receives a great deal of varied information, called stimuli. It can work out the difference between hot or cold, up or down, yesterday and today. The body receives stimuli from within itself, ,making it react in a certain way. For example, when running fast the body needs more oxygen so it needs to breath more deeply. The nervous system controls the body’s reactions and is responsible for all the sensations in the body

The brain is liked the spinal cord and together they form the central nervous system. Like a large computer, this system receives, stores and processes information. All the nerves that are not part of the brain or the spinal cord make up the peripheral nervous system. This takes information from organs such as the eyes and ears and passes it back to the central nervous system. Once the information is processed , the peripheral nervous system passes instructions back to the muscles an d organs, telling them what to do. Another part is the vegetative system. This controls how the organs inside the body works such as keeping the heart beating. These don’t need instructions.
