Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the central nervous system (CNS) is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing and transmitting information throughout the body.
Recognize that the CNS is composed of two main organs: the brain and the spinal cord.
The brain is the control center of the body, responsible for processing sensory information, regulating bodily functions, and enabling thought and emotion.
The spinal cord acts as a conduit for signals between the brain and the rest of the body, and it also coordinates reflexes.
By identifying the brain and spinal cord as the two main components, you can correctly associate them with the central nervous system.
