Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nervous system is divided into two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes all the nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body. Option A is the only choice that accurately describes both parts of the nervous system. Option B only describes the CNS, option C confuses the terms neuron and nerve, and option D only describes the brain and not the rest of the nervous system.
