The nervous system regulates vital body functions such as the heartbeat, digestion and breathing as well as how our body moves and sensations we feel. The nervous system is comprised of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS (brain and spinal cord) is responsible for incoming sensory information. The PNS (cranial and spinal nerves and ganglia) is responsible for signals being sent between the CNS and the body's muscles, glands, and sensory receptors. The nervous system is also divided functionally in terms of motor activities into the somatic and autonomic divisions.
