		Invertebrate animals show varying degrees of complexity in their nervous systems, but it is in the vertebrate animals (phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata) that the system reaches its greatest complexity.
		The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.
		All of the fibers of the autonomic nervous system are motor channels, and their impulses arise from the nerve tissue itself, so that the organs they innervate perform more or less involuntarily and do not require stimulation to function.

	Central nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The central nervous system (CNS) represents the largest part of the nervous system.
		Together with the peripheral nervous system, it has a fundamental role in the control of behavior.
		Since the strong theoretical influence of cybernetics in the fifties, the CNS is conceived as a system devoted to information processing, where an appropriate motor output is computed as a response to a sensory input.

	Chapter 3: The nervous system
		The nervous system comprises the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, consisting of the cranial, spinal, and peripheral nerves, together with their motor and sensory endings.
		The central nervous system is composed of millions of nerve and glial cells, together with blood vessels and a little connective tissue.
		By its role in central integrating mechanisms, the autonomic system is involved in behavioral and neuroendocrinological mechanisms, and in the processes whereby the body keeps its internal environment constant, that is, maintains temperature, fluid balance, and ionic composition of the blood.

	BrainConnection.com - Central Nervous System Overview
		To make matters worse, researchers have studied the nervous system from several points of view, and often they are inclined to create names for structures that reflect their particular point of view.
		As its name implies, the central nervous system is the center to which the other two systems feed their sensory information and from which they derive their motor output.
		The two main structures of the central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord.

	Central nervous system Summary
		The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord.
		Both the brain and spinal cord components of the central nervous system contain bundles of cell bodies (out of which axons grow) and branched regions of nerve cells that are called dendrites.
		The central nervous system (CNS), (i.e., the spinal cord, and the cortical and subcortical areas of the brain), processes different kinds of sensory information through highly organized neuronal structures that function as specific information-processing areas in the brain in a modular fashion.
