Lesson - Divisions of Nervous System

Of all the following DIVSIONS of the nervous system - which one do you think is the most important? If you're not sure, just make your best educated guess.

The entire Nervous System is split into two sections - CNS (Central Nervous System) and PNS (Peripheral Nervous System). In the right lower corner of your notes, find the full body pic example and color the same as example on the left. Color your brain and spinal cord PINK - this is CNS. Color the rest BLUE - this is PNS. Just type in the word "ok" to complete this question and move on.
