Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Is in the Cranial and Spinal nerves
Integrative and Control centres
Is in the Brain and Spinal cord
Allows communication between CNS and the rest of the body
Central Nervous System (CNS)
Allows communication between the PNS and the rest of the body
Is in the Brain and Spinal cord
Is in the Cranial and Spinal nervous
Integrative and Control centres

What is the Automatic nervous system (ANS) ?
Conducts Impulses (CNS- muscles)
Somatic and visceral
Involuntary visceral motor
Voluntary somatic fibers
What is the Somatic Nervous System (SNS)?
Voluntary somatic motor
Promotes non-emergency functions
Conserves energy
Conducts impulses (CNS-skeletal muscle)
What is the Sympathetic division?
Mobilizes body systems during emergency situations
Conserves energy
Shuts down body systems during emergency situatioins
Promotes non-emergency functions
What is the Parasympathetic division?
Conserves energy
Mobilizes body systems during emergency situations
Is involuntary
Promotes non emergency functions
