The Peripheral Nervous System

Question 2 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which best describes the central and peripheral nervous systems?

Answer
A
Both the central and peripheral nervous systems process stimuli information.
B
Both the central and peripheral nervous systems secrete hormones.
C
The central nervous system is made up of all nerve cells, and the peripheral nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.
D
The central nervous system processes stimuli information the body receives, and the peripheral nervous system senses stimuli and carries out the reaction.

Explanation

The central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) processes information received from stimuli and helps coordinate a response. The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body, carrying sensory signals in and motor commands out. Therefore, the best description is that the central nervous system processes stimuli information while the peripheral nervous system senses stimuli and carries out the reaction.
