Question
which of the following is a central component of the human nervous system that connects the central nervous system with the rest of the body?
peripheral nervous system
somatic nervous system
autonomic nervous system
sensory neurons
The human nervous system has two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS, brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS includes all nerves outside the CNS and functions to connect the CNS with the rest of the body (muscles, organs, etc.). The somatic nervous system is part of the PNS and controls voluntary movements. The autonomic nervous system (also part of PNS) controls involuntary functions. Sensory neurons are a type of nerve cell, not the main component connecting CNS to the body. So the peripheral nervous system is the central component (here, main part) that connects CNS to the rest of the body.
