The nervous system is made up of two parts the central (CNS) and the peripheral (PNS). The CNS includes the brain, found in the head, and the spinal chord, found running through the spine. The PNS includes all of the peripheral nerves that run to all parts of the body, and so are found almost everywhere.

Where is the nervous system at in the body?

The nervous system hasn't a defined location, it is distributed in the entire body. Every tiny point of your skin has a nerve that sends a signal to your brain telling that you are feeling pain, heat.. The internal organs of your body also have nerves. The nervous system is constituted of two main parts : The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves, (nerves are long fibers that connect the central nervous system to every other part of the body), the motor neurons, the autonomic nervous system,(comprising the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system) which mediates voluntary movements.


The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?

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.
