Nervous system
Looks like
Two chains of nerve knots beside the spine and a long wandering nerve, reaching every organ.
What it does
Runs the housekeeping: heart rate, breathing, digestion, sweating and pupils.
Keeping it well
Sleep, breathing practice and exercise all shift the balance towards rest and digest.
