What is the primary function of the neural system?
The neural system provides an organized network of point-to-point connections for a quick coordination.
What are the two main divisions of the human neural system?
The two main divisions are the Central Neural System (CNS) and the Peripheral Neural System (PNS).
What are the components of the Central Neural System (CNS)?
The CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord, serving as the site for information processing and control.
What is the function of the Peripheral Neural System (PNS)?
The PNS comprises all the nerves of the body associated with the CNS (brain and spinal cord) and is divided into the afferent and efferent pathways.

What is the function of the Peripheral Neural System (PNS)?
The PNS comprises all the nerves of the body associated with the CNS (brain and spinal cord) and is divided into the afferent and efferent pathways.
What is the function of the afferent pathway within the Peripheral Neural System (PNS)?
The afferent pathway transmits impulses from tissues and organs to the CNS.
What is the function of the efferent pathway within the Peripheral Neural System (PNS)?
The efferent pathway transmits regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues and organs.
Into what two further divisions is the efferent pathway of the Peripheral Neural System (PNS) divided?
The efferent pathway is divided into the Somatic Neural System and the Autonomic Neural System.
What is the role of the Somatic Neural System?
The Somatic Neural System relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles.
