  - - - IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRYING MOTOR AND SENSORY INFORMATION.
      - IT IS MADE UP OF NERVES THAT CONNECT TO SKIN, SENSORY ORGANS, AND SKELETAL MUSCLES
      - IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEARLY ALL VOLUNTARY MUSCLE MOVEMENTS
      - PROCESSES SENSORY INFORMATION FROM EXTERNAL STIMULI (HEARING, TOUCH, SIGHT)
