Components of the Nervous System Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 11.1 Principle Parts of Nervous System Central nervous system (CNS) Components: brain and spinal cord Functions: receives, processes, and transfers information Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Components: nerves outside CNS Sensory neurons: carry information toward the CNS Motor neurons: carry information away from CNS Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
