bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbpart of nervous system
brain
autonomic nervous system
spinal nerves
spinal cord
cranial nerves

Explanation:

• Brain: The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. So the brain is part of the CNS.
• Autonomic nervous system: The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes the autonomic (and somatic) nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system is part of the PNS.
• Spinal nerves: Spinal nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system as they connect the spinal cord (CNS) to the rest of the body, so they belong to PNS.
• Spinal cord: Along with the brain, the spinal cord is a key component of the CNS.
• Cranial nerves: Cranial nerves connect the brain (CNS) to various parts of the head and neck, so they are part of the PNS.

Answer:

• Brain: Central Nervous System (CNS)
• Autonomic nervous system: Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
• Spinal nerves: Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
• Spinal cord: Central Nervous System (CNS)
• Cranial nerves: Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
