The spinal cord and the brain make up the CNS. Its main job is to get the information from the body and send out instructions. The peripheral nervous system is made up of all of the nerves and the wiring. This system sends the messages from the brain to the rest of the body. -The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves that lie outside the brain and the spinal cord.

brain with nerve cords traversing the length of their bodies. Mammals have highly evolved nervous systems. They have large brains which process information and sense organs located near the brain. The human nervous system is made up of nerves‚ the brain‚ and the spinal cord. The nerves themselves do not form one single system‚ but several which are interrelated. Some of these are physically separate while others are different from one another in function only. The brain and spinal cord make up the
