Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, controlling most functions of the body and mind. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, connecting them to the rest of the body. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, while the autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion. The term "primary nervous system" is not commonly used in the field of neuroscience.
