The nervous system can be broadly divided into two main parts:
**A: Central Nervous System (CNS)**
- Comprises the brain and spinal cord.
- Responsible for processing information and controlling most functions of the body and mind.
**B: Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)**
- Comprises all the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord.
- Further divided into:
- Somatic Nervous System: Controls voluntary movements and relays sensory information.
- Autonomic Nervous System: Regulates involuntary body functions and is divided into:
- Sympathetic Nervous System: Prepares the body for stress or emergencies (fight-or-flight response).
- Parasympathetic Nervous System: Conserves energy and restores the body to a calm state (rest-and-digest response).
Together, these components enable the nervous system to perform its functions effectively.
