• Regulates bodies involuntary
Cranial nerves • Relays information responses
from skin, sense
• 12 pair organs & skeletal • Relays information to internal
• Attached to undersurface muscles to CNS organs
of brain
• Brings responses • Two divisions
Spinal nerves o Sympathetic nervous system – in
back to skeletal
times of stress:
• 31 pair muscles for § Emergency response
voluntary responses § Fight or flight
• Attached to spinal cord
o Parasympathetic nervous system –
when body is at rest or with normal
functions:
§ Normal everyday conditions
