Discuss the activities the nervous system is responsible for. In my research about the differences of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system is that the central nervous system, also known as CNS, controls the entire body. The central nervous system deals with the brain and spinal cord. It also controls everything we need to survive on a daily basis. The central nervous system consists of our heart rates, our body temperatures, and breathing, just to name a few and all of these core things that we need to survive and are involuntary. We do not think of having to breathe or make our heart beat. The peripheral nervous system, also known as PNS, is what is consisted of everything outside of the brain and spinal cord. The…

    The nervous system is broken down into two major systems: Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. We’ll discuss the Central Nervous System first. The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The Cerebral Cortex, which is involved in a variety of higher cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor functions is more developed in humans than any other animal. It is what we see when we picture a human brain, the gray matter with a multitude of folds covering the…

The CNS contains everybody's brain and spinal cord; this is where our body receives sensory information, generates thoughts and emotions, and stores our memories at. Our PNS contains our nerves and axons; this section is responsible to give and take information to and from the CNS. Our Peripheral System is then broken into two more sections called the Somatic Nervous System…
