The rest of the nervous system follows the instructions of the main part that makes the decisions. The main part is the brain, spinal cord, and other interneurons. The rest of the nervous system is called the peripheral nervous system and it mainly receives stimuli with sensory neurons, and sends signals for movement with motor neurons.
parasympathetic nervous system.....
The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system is the rest.
The brain is the destination for the information that is gathered by the rest of the nervous system. The nervous system operates a body's essential functions.

The central nervous system
The brain and spinal cord are referred to as the central nervous system; the rest of the nervous system is called the peripheral nervous system.
The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system. It works in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system to regulate bodily functions at rest and promote relaxation.
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.
The emergency, or "fight or flight" part of the nervous system is the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system produces a "rest and digest" response.
The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
The nervous system.
The brain is the most important and central organ of the entire nervous system. It receives sensory input (afferent feedback) from the rest of the nervous system, processes information, and produces efferent signals and responses to the rest of the nervous system. Analogous to a computer system, the brain would be the central processing unit.
