Based on your description:

  • If A is pointing to the body, it is likely referring to the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the limbs and organs.

  • If B is pointing to the head, it is likely referring to the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord.

So, you would label A as pointing to the peripheral nervous system and B as pointing to the central nervous system.
