Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and spinal cord, which are responsible for receiving, processing, interpreting, and storing incoming sensory information, as well as sending out messages to muscles, glands, and internal organs. The brain stem and occipital lobe are specific parts of the CNS, but do not encompass all of its functions. Action potential refers to the electrical signal that travels along neurons in the nervous system, and is not a system or structure.
