Divisions of the Nervous System1) Central Nervous System:

Structure::::Consists of the spinal cord and brain. Contains neural
tissue, connective tissue, and blood vessels.
Function::::Process and coordinate sensory data-from inside and
outside body, motor commands-control activities of peripheral organs
e.g. skeletal muscles, higher function of the brain-intelligence,
memory, learning, emotion
2) Peripheral Nervous System:
Structure:::::Includes all neural tissue outside the CNS
Function: Deliver sensory information to the CNS
