Answer:

1.Structural Divisions of the Nervous System. The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else.

2.Like the nervous system as a whole, the peripheral nervous system also has two divisions: the sensory division and the motor division. The sensory division of the PNS carries sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.

3.Sensory receptors with corresponding stimuli to which they respond.

Receptor Stimulus

Apmullae of Lorenzini (primarily function as electroreceptors) Electric fields, salinity, and temperature

Baroreceptors Pressure in blood vessels

Chemo receptors Chemical stimuli

Electromagnetic radiation receptors Electromagnetic radiation
