Question

the two parts of the central nervous system are the:

cortex and core areas
sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
brain and spinal cord
autonomic and somatic nervous systems

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "cortex and core areas" refers to brain regions, not the two main parts of the central nervous system (CNS).
• "sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions" are parts of the autonomic nervous system (peripheral nervous system, PNS), not CNS.
• "brain and spinal cord" are the two main components of the central nervous system.
• "autonomic and somatic nervous systems" are divisions of the peripheral nervous system, not CNS.

Answer:

C. brain and spinal cord
