It is one of 2 parts of the nervous system. The other part is the peripheral nervous system, which consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. The central nervous system is the body's processing centre.
What is a network of nerves called?The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body.
What part of the nervous system allows for communication between the body and the brain and spinal cord?The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body. Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network.
