Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the vertebrate nervous system is a complex network responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body.
Recognize that the nervous system is divided into two main parts: the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, serving as the main control center for processing information.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) includes all the nerves outside the CNS, connecting the CNS to limbs and organs.
Differentiate between the CNS and PNS by their functions: the CNS processes information, while the PNS transmits signals to and from the CNS.
