The nervous system is composed of two main parts:
1. Central Nervous System (CNS): Composed of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the primary control center of the body, receiving, processing, and transmitting information. The spinal cord acts as a communication pathway between the brain and the rest of the body.
2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Consists of all the nerves that extend from the CNS to the rest of the body. The PNS can be further divided into two main parts:
- Somatic Nervous System: Responsible for controlling voluntary movements and conveying sensory information from the body to the brain.
- Autonomic Nervous System: Controls involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. It is further divided into:
- Sympathetic Nervous System: Activates the "fight or flight" response.
- Parasympathetic Nervous System: Promotes "rest and digest" activities.
