Chapter 14, Problem 6MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The sensations and muscle movements in our body are interpreted and controlled by the nervous system. The nervous system is extremely complex. It has two subdivisions: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. These subdivisions have two functional divisions: the sensory nervous system and the motor nervous system.
