The brain and spinal cord are components of which system?

The brain and spinal cord form the Central Nervous System, the main processing and control hub of the nervous system. The CNS handles information from the body, makes decisions, and sends out commands. The Peripheral Nervous System includes all nerves outside the CNS and splits into the autonomic (involuntary functions) and somatic (voluntary movements and sensations) systems. Since the brain and spinal cord are the central structure that coordinates everything, they belong to the Central Nervous System.
