Unified network of communications, but on an anatomical basis, it is divided into two primary portions. Which peripheral nervous system is the second portion.
The spinal cord
The peripheral nervous system consists of autonomic and the somatic nervous systems.

∙ 7y agoThe peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the network of nerves that connects the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body & has two major divisions:
- The somatic nervous system consists of sensory nerves, whose function is to convey information from the skin and muscles to the CNS about conditions such as pain and temperature, and motor nerves, whose function is to tell the muscles what to do.
- The autonomic nervous system whose function is to take messages to and from the body's internal organs, monitoring such processes as breathing, heart rate, and digestion.

∙ 8y agoThere are two functional divisions of the peripheral nervous system: the afferent (sensory) division and the efferent (motor) division. The anatomical peripheral nervous system contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain.
These two communicate with each other to make sure our body parts, such as our fingers, can send signals to the central nervous system for processing in our brains.

What types of neurons make up the peripheral nervous system?
Sensory and Motor neurons
The somatic and autonomic nervous systems make up the?
The somatic and autonomic nervous systems make up the peripheral nervous system. The main function of this system is to connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs in the body.
What do motor neurones do?
Motor neurons are a part of the nervous system that make muscles move.
What are the specialized cells that make up nervous tissue?
The brain, spinal cord, neurons and basically anything that can send message from your brain to the rest of your body like your nerves. The nervous system has two subdivisions--the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) is what the Central Nervous System (CNS) sends signals to move the body or control hormones etc...
What organ make the nervous system?
Brain along with spinal cord and peripheral nerves make nervous system.
What is a nerve system?
The nervous system is a network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself. It processes this information and causes reactions in other parts of the body. It is composed of neurons and other specialized cells called glia, that aid in the function of the neurons. The nervous system is divided broadly into two categories: the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Neurons generate and conduct impulses between and within the two systems. The peripheral nervous system is composed of sensory neurons and the neurons that connect them to the nerve cord, spinal cord and brain, which make up the central nervous system. In response to stimuli, sensory neurons generate and propagate signals to the central nervous system which then processes and conducts signals back to the muscles and glands. The neurons of the nervous systems of animals are interconnected in complex arrangements and use electrochemical signals and neurotransmitters to transmit impulses from one neuron to the next. The interaction of the different neurons form neural circuits that regulate an organism's perception of the world and what is going on with its body, thus regulating its behavior. Nervous systems are found in many multicellular animals but differ greatly in complexity between species.
The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and which receives and sends messages within that system is called a?
Neurons are the cells that make up the nervous system.
What tow systems make up the nervous system?
Central and peripheral
What tissue makes up the brain and spinal cord?
The spinal cord and the brain make up part of the nervous system called the central nervous system. The rest of the system is made up of the peripheral nervous system.
What are the advantages of having both a nervous system and a endocrine system?

(The interaction of the different neurons form neural circuits that regulate an organism's perception of the world and what is going on with its body, thus regulating its behavior.) The endocrine system is a system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, and tissue function and (also plays a part in determining mood)

The brain and the spinal cord together make up what is known as the... nervous system?
The central nervous system. Everything else is a part of the peripheral nervous system.
