Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nervous system can be divided into two main anatomical subdivisions: the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes all nerve fibers that are outside of the CNS. This division is based on the location of the neural structures within the body. The other choices either do not accurately represent the anatomical divisions of the nervous system or are not commonly used terms for classification within the nervous system.
