Solution

Dear student.

Human neural system is divided into two main parts:
(a) Central neural system: It comprises the brain and spinal cord. The brain is lodged in the skull while spinal cord is enclosed by the vertebral column.
(b) Peripheral neural system: The nerves arising from central neural system constitute the peripheral neural system. It is further divided into two subdivisions:
(i) Somatic neural system: This system includes the nerves supplying the skeletal muscles. The somatic neural system controls the movements of the body by acting on the skeletal muscles.
(ii) Autonomic neural system: It controls and coordinates such organs which are under involuntary control. It is further classified into sympathetic and parasympathetic neural system.


The main function of the nervous system is to control the operations and movement of the body based on the sensory information it receives.

Regards.
