The human nervous system is divided into two parts, namely the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The main function of the CNS is to control most functions of the body. It collects information, processes it, and sends messages to the body to act accordingly. The main function of the PNS is to connect CNS to the limbs and organs.
