∙ 8y agoYou have central and peripheral nervous system. This is anatomical or structural division. You have somatic as well as autonomic nervous system. It is the autonomic nervous system, that has got sympathetic as well as parasympathetic divisions. This is functional division. Somatic nervous system as well as autonomic nervous system has got central as well as peripheral components.

Is autonomic central system part of central nervous system?

Digestive system has got own local nervous system in the form of myenteric plexus. But then it is supplied by vagus nerve, the tenth cranial nerve, that comes down all the way from your skull. It has got powerful influence on your digestive system. Only terminal part of digestive system gets it's parasympathetic nervous supply from the sacral autonomic outflow.
Why is the parasympathetic nervous system important?
autonomic The parasympathetic nervous system is part of the nervous system.
What part of the autonomic nervous system that conserves body's energy?
The parasympathetic nervous system.
What are the part or nervous system?
The nervous system is divided into: - The central nervous system (CNS) : Encephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, medulla, spinal cord, cerebellum. - The peripheral nervous system (PNS) : Roots, spinal nerves, plexi, peripheral nerves and neuromuscular junction. - The autonomic nervous system (ANS) : Sympathetic and Parasympathetic
As part of which nervous system do postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine?
