The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, and is responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information, initiating movement, and controlling bodily functions. The somatic nervous system (B) is responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles, while the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system (C and D) are responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration. The afferent division of the peripheral nervous system (E) is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the CNS.
