# Nervous System
- _Central nervous system_ = [[brain-structure|brain]] + spine
- _Peripheral nervous system_ is not concerned in this course.
- Somatic System = intentional, voluntarily control
- Autonomic System = reacts to the stimuli, involuntary
- Parasympathetic = relaxation mode
- Sympathetic ![[parasympathetic-vs-sympathetic.png]]
- Somatic System can fight the Sympathetic system, but only for that long
