The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body. The peripheral nervous system has two divisions - the somatic nervous system which connects to skeletal muscles and skin, and the autonomic nervous system which regulates involuntary body functions and has sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
