they work together to accomplish a task? (4 points)

Answer 1

The nervous system develops throughout the human body and includes very different elements in their forms and functions. It is divided into two complementary systems, the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) and the Central Nervous System (CNS).

The SNP includes all the nerve tissue that runs through the body. It has a dual function: to receive information by sensory sensors and transmit them to the CNS, and to activate motor functions controlled by the CNS. It consists of two parts, that somatic, activating the skeletal muscles and that, autonomous, attached to the viscera.

The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. It is the center of information processing.

Answer 2

Nerves from the peripheral nervous system that leave the brain and spinal cord travel throughout the body. The peripheral nervous system job is to send information from the body's sensory receptors to the central nervous system quickly.
