What are the two main divisions of the nervous system and what makes up both of them?

Anatomical Divisions are the...

CNS (central nervous system) which consists of the brain and spinal cord. the cns is the bodys neural control center, it receives incoming info (impulses), analyzes and organizes it, and initiates appropriate action.

PNS (peripheral nervous system) which is located outiside of the CNS and consists of nerves and sensory receptors, the PNS carries impulses formed by receptors, such as pain and sound receptors, to the CNS and it carries impulses from the CNS to effectors, glands and muscles that carry out actions directed by the CNS

Functional Divisions are...

Sensory division which carries impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS

Motor division , which carries impulses from the CNS to effectors

the motor division can also be divided into the

SNS (somatic nervous system) which is involved in the voluntary control of the skeletal muscles

ANS (autonomic nervous system) which is involved in the involuntary control of cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and glands
