Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the divisions of the nervous system. The nervous system is primarily divided into the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
Understand the role of the Central Nervous System (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, responsible for processing information and controlling most functions of the body and mind.
Learn about the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), which connects the CNS to limbs and organs, essentially serving as a communication relay between the brain and the extremities.
Explore the Autonomic Nervous System, a part of the PNS, which controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.
Recognize that the Endocrine System is not a division of the nervous system. It is a separate system responsible for hormone production and regulation, affecting various bodily functions.
