The central nervous system of vertebrates (such as humans) contains the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons‚ clusters of neurons called ganglia‚ and nerves connecting them to each other and to the central nervous system.

meningomyelocele. Meningocele causes a portion of the spinal cord to push through the spine which forms a sac and is noticeable on the back.

(PNS) systems provide a link between the central nervous system and peripheral organs. The sympathetic nervous system originates in the spinal cord. Specifically‚ the cell bodies of the first neuron (the preganglionic neuron) are located in the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord. Axons from these neurons project to a chain of ganglia located near the spinal cord. In most cases‚ this neuron makes a synapse with another neuron (post-ganglionic neuron) in the ganglion. A few preganglionic neurons go to
