Question

Compare the following:

Central neural system (CNS) and Peripheral neural system (PNS)

Differentiate between the Following:

Central and Peripheral nervous system

Answer 1

	Central neural system	Peripheral neural system
1.	It is the main coordinating centre of the body.	It is not the main coordinating centre of the body.
2.	All of our body's voluntary operations are controlled by the central nervous system.	All of our body's involuntary processes are controlled by the peripheral nervous system.
3.	It includes the brain and spinal cord.	It includes the cranial and spinal nerves that connect central nervous system to different parts of the body.
4.	The brain (CNS) controls our body's fundamental functions.	The (PNS) peripheral nervous system automatically regulates the operations of internal organs, blood vessels, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles.
5.	The central nervous system is made up of sensory and motor nerves that are connected to the brain and spinal cord in an afferent and efferent manner.	The peripheral nervous system is made up of dorsal and ventral nerve cells, as well as a network of spinal and cranial nerves that connects the brain and spinal cord on one end and the muscles on the other.
