Difference between central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

CNS:

• CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.
• Its major functions is to organize and analyze the information obtained from sensory organs.
• CNS controls all the voluntary functions of the body
• It carries significantly short nerve impulses.
• A damage to CNS causes a global effect on the body.
• Most nerves are incapable of regenerating its nerve fibers.

PNS:

•  PNS consists of sensory receptors, sensory neurons and motor neurons.
• Its major function is to transmit sensory information to the CNS and pass motor impulses to the effector organs.
• PNS controls and influences all the involuntary functions of the body.
• It is composed of long nerve fibers.
• A damage to PNS causes a local effect on the body.
• Most nerves can be regenerated.
