Flow Chart For Nervous System (Class 10 ICSE)

The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS contains the brain and spinal cord. The brain receives sensory information and controls the body's responses. The spinal cord controls reflexes below the neck and relays signals between the brain and body. The PNS includes all nerves that connect to the CNS and relay information between the CNS and external organs. It is divided into the somatic and autonomic systems, with the autonomic system controlling involuntary functions like breathing and digestion.
