Answer

Central nervous system

Explanation

The central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, is responsible for processing sensory information and coordinating responses.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding CNS Components

Students often confuse the roles of the brain and spinal cord, thinking they are separate systems rather than components of the central nervous system.

Emphasize that both the brain and spinal cord work together as the central nervous system, coordinating all nervous system activities.
