Which part of the Nervous System, includes smaller neurons that gather information from the rest of the body and reports back to the Central Nervous System?

A	A reflex
B	The node of Ranvier
C	The CNS
D	The Peripheral Nervous System

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is that part of your nervous system that lies outside your brain and spinal cord. It plays key role in both sending information from different areas of your body back to your brain, as well as carrying out commands from your brain to various parts of your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thalamus: The thalamus is the relay center of the brain. It receives afferent impulses from sensory receptors located throughout the body and processes the information for distribution to the appropriate cortical area.

Detailed explanation-3: -The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back. It contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. This network of nerves relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The brain and spinal cord (the CNS) function as the control center. They receive data and feedback from the sensory organs and from nerves throughout the body, process the information, and send commands back out.
