English-Ireland (top end) Renown is listed as a verb in Chambers Dictionary. I looked for etymology - the similarity with known is tantalising.... The M.E. verb renown has been assimilated to the noun via renowned famous, celebrated (c.1375). Source.
In Depth: Nervous. The nervous system has two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central system is the primary command center for the body, and is comprised of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system consists of a network of nerves that connects the rest of the body to the CNS.
The nervous system is responsible for transmitting and receiving electrical and chemical signals (messages) within the body. Each division of the nervous system plays a vital part in the functioning of the human body. The nervous system can also be considered the human bodyâs communication network. The nervous system sends messages through afferent neurons, efferent neurons and interneurons.
