What are the two parts of the human neural system?
Options
- ACentral neural system and peripheral neural system
- BAfferent and efferent nerves
- CSomatic and autonomic neural system
- DSympathetic and parasympathetic neural system
Correct answer
A. Central neural system and peripheral neural system
Step-by-step solution
The human neural system is divided into two parts: the central neural system (CNS) and the peripheral neural system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and is the site of information processing and control. The afferent nerve fibres transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS. The efferent nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs.The somatic neural system relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles. The autonomic neural system transmit
