Nervous System Concept Map: Structure and Parts
A nervous system concept map shows how the body sends and processes signals. The nervous system splits into the central nervous system, made of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which carries messages to and from the rest of the body. A good map links these divisions to the cells and pathways that make them work.
- Central nervous system: brain and spinal cord, which process information
- Peripheral nervous system: nerves linking the CNS to limbs and organs
- Neurons: cells that carry electrical and chemical signals
- Sensory and motor pathways: routes for input and output
- Reflex arcs: fast automatic responses that bypass the brain
Use this map to revise the divisions, compare pathways and check your understanding before a test. To build a version based on your own course notes, create a personalized map with CogniGuide.

Nervous System Concept Map: Common Questions
Answers about the nervous system and how to make your own map.
What are the two main divisions of the nervous system?
The nervous system has two main divisions: the central nervous system, made of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, made of nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body.
What is the role of neurons?
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit signals. They receive input, process it, and send electrical impulses along axons to other neurons, muscles or glands.
Which file types can I use to make my map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type a topic instead.
Can I turn my nervous system map into a quiz?
Yes. CogniGuide can turn a map into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can become flashcards.
