Partly the Cranial nerve and partly the spinal chord. also known as the peripheral nervous system


Does the human nervous system remove wastes?

The human nervous system does not play a direct role in removing wastes from the body. Waste removal is primarily carried out by the urinary system, respiratory system, digestive system, and integumentary system.


What are the two main divisions of the nervous system and what makes up both of them?

Alright, buckle up buttercup. The two main divisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of all the nerves outside of the CNS. So there you have it, the dynamic duo of the nervous system.


In human anatomy what is PNS?

PNS stands for Peripheral Nervous System. The PNS connects the Central Nervous System (in the brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body. It is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.


How many cells in a nervous system?

You could say there are 2, The Central Nervous System(CNS), & the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).To be more inclusive, here is a list of human nervous systems:The Central Nervous System (CNS), the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS),the Somatic Nervous System (SNS), the Autonomic Nervous System, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System.That would make a total of 6, although the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic are parts of the Autonomic Nervous system, which could mean a total of 4, and the Autonomic is itself a part of the Peripheral Nervous System, which would bring the total back to 2.The Central Nervous System is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord;the Peripheral Nervous System connects the CNS to other parts of the body, and is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System;the Somatic Nervous System includes all the nerves controlling the body's muscular system, and sensory nerves;the Autonomic Nervous System consists of motor neurons which control internal organs, and is comprised of two sub-systems, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System;the Sympathetic Nervous System is involved in the fight-or-flight response, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System is involved in relaxation.
