Detailed explanation-1: -The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It is one of 2 parts of the nervous system. The other part is the peripheral nervous system, which consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. The central nervous system is the body’s processing centre.
Detailed explanation-2: -The spinal cord is an extension of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord begins at the bottom of the brain stem (at the area called the medulla oblongata) and ends in the lower back, as it tapers to form a cone called the conus medullaris.
Detailed explanation-3: -The central nervous system is that part of the nervous system that consists of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord.-The CNS is the main control center of the body-it takes in sensory information, organizes and synthesizes data, then provides direction for motor output to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -In vertebrates, the CNS is contained within the dorsal body cavity, while the brain is housed in the cranial cavity within the skull. The spinal cord is housed in the spinal canal within the vertebrae.
