The nervous system consists of the brain which brings throughout your body Theirs two parts of the nervous system, the cetral nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons, clusters of neurons called ganglia, and nerves connecting them to each other and to the central nervous system.

∙ 13y agoThe nervous system contains the brain and nerves. It also consists of the senses, such as sight, smell, hearing, etc.
The job of the brain is to take in information and process it so that the animal can respond adequately, and in many cases, quite intelligently, to stimuli. The brain is able to do this thanks to connections between neurons (single nerve cells). How these connections work is still a mystery, but scientists do know that the more connections between neurons in the brain that an individual has, the smarter he or she probably is.
The job of the nerves outside the brain is to bring back sensory information (including pain) back to the brain. After the brain processes that information, other nerves, the motor neurons, carry the signals from the brain so that the muscles can move.

Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
What comprises the nervous system?
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
The cranial and spinal nerves form what nervous system?
the peripheral nervous system
What are the two types of nervous system?
They are the central nervous system and the periperhal nervous system.but in the periperhal nervous system ,they are two nervous system divided，。
The somatic nervous system is a component of what nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
Is autonmic nervous system apart of the peripheral or central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.
What are two main jobs of the nervous system?
The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
