What part of the nervous system is
made up of the nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord into the external
limbs and other organs? (A) Peripheral nervous system. (B) Central nervous system.
This question is asking us to
recall parts of the human nervous system. So, to answer this question, let’s
start by reviewing the organizational structure of the human nervous system. This is the human nervous
system. The human nervous system has three
main functions: gathering sensory information, information processing, and
transmitting motor responses. These functions are accomplished by
the different parts of the human nervous system, which is a highly organized
integrated network of nerve cells. So the human nervous system can be
divided into subdivisions, each with their own specific structural and functional
characteristics.
The first division of the nervous
system subdivides it into the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous
system. The central nervous system consists
of two main components: the brain and the spinal cord. The central nervous system is
responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information, as well as
coordinating motor responses. The peripheral nervous system
refers to all of the nerves beyond the brain and the spinal cord. These nerves extend from the spinal
cord all the way out to the external limbs and other organs. This helps the peripheral nervous
system achieve its primary purpose of transmitting information towards and away from
the central nervous system. With this information, we can now
answer the question. The part of the nervous system that
is made up of nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord into the external
limbs and other organs is the peripheral nervous system.
