1. Central Nervous System (CNS) *May be Voluntary or Involuntary
2- Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) VOLUNARY
- Conscious
- Contraction of the skeletal muscles
Central Nervous System (CNS)
INVOLUNTARY
-Main processing Center
- Contraction of the smooth muscles
-Composed of brain and Spinal Cord - Cardiac muscles
- Governed by autonomic nervous system
-Organizer and distributor of information of
the body.

PNS (Peripheral Nervous System)

-Connects CNS to the organs and limbs.
-Carries sensory and motor information
