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: -It is divided into two parts, the sympathetic nervous system, and the parasympathetic nervous system.
