Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are the two major divisions of the nervous system. The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of all the nerves and ganglia outside of the CNS. The other answer choices (sympathetic/parasympathetic, sensory/motor, voluntary/involuntary) refer to different subsystems or functions within the nervous system, but they do not divide the nervous system as a whole.
