The nervous system consists of two main parts: CNS and PNS
Nerves carry messages between different parts of the body using electrical impulses called action potentials.
CNS is the
brain
and
spinal cord
, while PNS are nerves that connect to other
organs.
Brain
is in charge of receiving, processing, and responding to sensory information.
Peripheral nervous system
includes all nerves outside the central nervous system (CNS).
Spinal cord transmits signals from the
peripheral
nervous system (PNS) to the
brain
and vice versa.
