Two main divisions of the CNS The brain and the spinal cord Role of the SNS The SNS (Somatic nervous system) is composed of spinal and cranial nerves carrying information to the brain. It is responsible for movement Brainpower 0:04 / 0:15 Role of ANS The Autonomic Nervous system is composed of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic controls 'fight or flight' reflex. The parasympathetic controls 'rest and digest' functions (stasis of internal...
