The Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous system
The peripheral nervous system is divided into motor and sensory systems. The peripheral nervous system is also divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
The two main division of The Nervous System is divided into:Peripheral Nervous SystemCentral Nervous SystemThe Peripheral Nervous System is divided into two major parts:The somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. While The Central Nervous System is divided into two parts: the brain and the spinal cord.

The two integral parts of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic nervous system responsible for, "rest and digest" and the parasympathetic nervous system that is responsible for, "fight or flight".
The Nervous System is divided into two which are the central nervous system or CNS and the peripheral nervous system or PNS. The division that includes the brain is CNS.
The two subdivisions of the motor subdivision are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle, and the autonomic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary movements, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heart rate and digestion.
The two types of nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of all the nerves outside of the CNS that connect it to the rest of the body.
The nervous system is initially divided into the central nervous system (CNS) (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (pretty much all nerves and related structures that do not reside in the brain or spinal cord). The PNS is then divided into two two divisions known as the somatic division (voluntary) and the autonomic division (involuntary). The autonomic nervous system is then once more divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for fight or flight responses, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes rest and relaxation.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into two groups of nerves: sensory nerves, which transmit information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerves, which transmit information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to produce a response.
