Chapter 17: Nervous System - Johnston Community College
... The nervous system is divided into a central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and a peripheral nervous system (PNS), consisting of nerves carrying sensory and motor information between the CNS and muscles and glands. Both systems have two types of cells: neurons that tr ...
