Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Parts and Function
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a nervous system component that connects the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body. It consists of nerves and ganglia that transmit signals between the CNS and organs, limbs, and skin. The PNS is divided into sensory and motor divisions, which carry information to and from the CNS. It is critical in bodily functions like movement, sensation, and autonomic processes.
Central vs Peripheral Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is the primary control center for the body, processing sensory information and directing responses. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the CNS to the rest of the body. It comprises nerves that transmit sensory data to the CNS and carry out commands from the CNS to muscles and organs.
