    The document provides an overview of the nervous system. It is divided into the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves. The nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary functions like skeletal muscle movement, and the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like glands and smooth muscle. The autonomic nervous system has sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions that work in opposition to prepare the body for fight or flight and rest and digestion, respectively.
