* Somatic NS: In charge of voluntary actions, including touch, pressure, pain, temperature and stretch. Includes special sensors. Has 2 Divisions
* Sensory Division: Receptors in skeletal muscle, joints, and special sensors relay information TO CNS
* Motor Division: Response FROM the CNS is transmitted to skeletal muscle, joins and special sensors
\
* Autonomic NS: In charge of automatic processes, including breathing, heartbeat, digestion and hormone release. Has 2 divisions:
* Sensory Division: Receptors in autonomic organs and glands transmit information TO the CNS
* Motor Division: Response FROM the CNS is transmitted to autonomic organs and glands
* Also has 2 classifications: Sympathetic (fight or flight) and Parasympathetic (rest or digest)
\
* Enteric NS: Newer classification, in charge of nervous tissue in the gut. Has 2 sections:
* Sensory Division: Receptors in the GI tract transmit information TO the CNS
* Motor Division: Response FROM the CNS to the smooth muscle cells, glands and endocrine cells in the GI (AUTONOMIC)
