Nervous system
Description: The nervous system is an organ system containing predominantly neuron and glial cells. In bilaterally symmetrical organism, it is arranged in a network of tree-like structures connected to a central body.In all animals the nervous system probably differentiates from the embryonic ectodermal layer (Swanson, 2014).The main functions of the nervous system are to regulate and control body functions, and to receive sensory input, process this information, and generate behavior."The term was introduced by Monro in 1873.

autonomic nervous system
Description: The autonomic nervous system is composed of neurons that are not under conscious control, and is comprised of two antagonistic components, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system regulates key functions including the activity of the cardiac (heart) muscle, smooth muscles (e.g. of the gut), and glands[GO].

parasympathetic nervous system
Description: The parasympathetic nervous system is one of the two divisions of the vertebrate autonomic nervous system. Parasympathetic nerves emerge cranially as pre ganglionic fibers from oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus and from the sacral region of the spinal cord. Most neurons are cholinergic and responses are mediated by muscarinic receptors. The parasympathetic system innervates, for example: salivary glands, thoracic and abdominal viscera, bladder and genitalia[GO].

Enteric Nervous System
Description: Two ganglionated neural plexuses in the gut wall which form one of the three major divisions of the autonomic nervous system. The enteric nervous system innervates the gastrointestinal tract, the pancreas, and the gallbladder. It contains sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Thus the circuitry can autonomously sense the tension and the chemical environment in the gut and regulate blood vessel tone, motility, secretions, and fluid transport. The system is itself governed by the central nervous system and receives both parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation.

Central nervous system
Description: The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerve cell layer of the retina.In animals with bilateral symmetry, it is a topographic division that is a condensation of the nervous system in the longitudinal plane, lying on or near the median plane. For invertebrates the longitudinal division consists of one or more nerve cords, whereas for vertebrates it consists of a single, hollow, and dorsal cerebrospinal axis.In adult Echinoderms, which are radially symmetrical, a presumptive CNS is formed by a circular cord with associated radial cords. However, there is no ganglion that could be considered as brain in invertebrate When a CNS is present, its obligate companion topographic division is a peripheral nervous system.The term, as it currently defined, was first used by Meckel (1817).

sympathetic nervous system
Description: The sympathetic nervous system is one of the two divisions of the vertebrate autonomic nervous system (the other being the parasympathetic nervous system). The sympathetic preganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord and connect to the paravertebral chain of sympathetic ganglia. Innervate heart and blood vessels, sweat glands, viscera and the adrenal medulla. Most sympathetic neurons, but not all, use noradrenaline as a post-ganglionic neurotransmitter [GO].
