The divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS is made of two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS is made up the Somatic nervous system and the automatic system. The somatic nervous contains the peripheral nerve fibers that deliver sensory information to the CNS and motor nerve fibers that go to the skeletal muscle. The central nervous system sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body. (Divisions of The

Comparing the Cardiac muscle and the Skeletal muscle Differences Similarities Skeletal muscle is usually linked to bones by structures called tendons. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. They are both important parts to the body. Skeletal muscle cells are usually arranged into cylindrical fibres with multiple nuclei and can be directly controlled by voluntary nerve signals from the nervous system. Cardiac muscle cells are normally shorter and are linked via gap junctions which allow compounds

The nervous system is one of the smallest yet one of the‚ if not the most‚ complex systems in the human body. It can be broken down into two main subdivisions‚ the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central nervous system contains about 85 billion neurons and includes the spinal cord and brain. It is considered the control center of the body and processes all types of incoming sensory information. The peripheral nervous system is composed of all the other tissue
