What Is the Difference Between the Peripheral and Central Nervous System?
The central nervous system (English name: Central Nervous System, Chinese name Central Nerve) is composed of the brain and spinal cord (the brain and spinal cord are the central part of various reflex arcs), and is the most important part of the human nervous system. The central nervous system accepts incoming information from all parts of the body. After it is integrated and processed, it becomes a coordinated motorized outgoing, or it is stored in the central nervous system and becomes the neural basis of learning and memory. Human thinking activity is also a function of the central nervous system.
- The central nervous system regulates a specific physiological function
- The central nervous system is affected by pathogenic factors (especially when organic disease of the nervous system cannot be detected), and the disease with mental activity as the main manifestation is called
- The peripheral nervous system (English name: peripheral nervous system, referred to as PNS) is a nerve from the central nervous system that guides all parts of the human body, also known as the peripheral nervous system: it is divided into brain-connected according to the different parts connected to the central nervous system. Cranial nerve and spinal nerve connected to the spinal cord; it can also be divided into somatic nervous system and visceral nerve according to the distributed objects. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for communicating with various parts of the body, and plays the role of transmitting and receiving information [1] .
