The document summarizes the nervous system in humans. It describes the central nervous system as including the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system has nerve cells with axons that extend through the limbs. The peripheral nervous system has three divisions: somatic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic. Neurons transmit nerve messages while glial cells support and protect neurons. Neurons receive signals at dendrites, transmit signals along axons, and communicate between cells via neurotransmitters at synapses.
