Components of the Central Nervous System

1. Brain: The brain is the central organ of the central nervous system (CNS) and is responsible for coordinating all activities, processing sensory information, and governing cognitive functions.

2. Spinal Cord: The spinal cord is a vital part of the CNS that connects the brain to the peripheral nervous system, facilitating the transmission of signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

3. Ganglia: Although ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies, they are typically considered part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) rather than the CNS.

4. Nerves: Nerves are peripheral structures that transmit signals between the CNS and body parts, thus they are also part of the PNS.

5. Sensory Receptors: Sensory receptors are specialized structures that detect stimuli and send that information to the brain but are not part of the CNS.

Final Selection

The correct components of the central nervous system from your list are:

• Brain
• Spinal Cord

Note: Ganglia, nerves, and sensory receptors are not components of the central nervous system; they are associated with the peripheral nervous system.
