Summary Introduction
To review:
The structural as well as the functional classification of the nervous system of the body including the subdivisions of each with explanation.
Introduction:
The nervous system comprises of all the nerves present within the body. The nerves carry and receive impulses from and to the brain and the spinal cord, respectively. They form a dense network running along the body and responding within seconds.
