A2 - Mitra, Raj PY - 2019 T2 - Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine AB - The central nervous system includes the brain and the spinal cord; the remainder belongs to the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system consists of two components: the somatic nervous system, which predominantly controls skeletal muscle (e.g., the “outer world”), and the autonomic nervous system, which predominantly controls smooth muscle, glands, and cardiac muscle (e.g., the “inner world”).1 The autonomic nervous system mainly includes sympathetic division (the so-called “fight-or-flight” response) and parasympathetic division (the “rest-and-digest” response).
