Study Notes
Peripheral Nervous System
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a part of our body's nervous system responsible for transmitting information between the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and every other part of the body. It acts as a bridge between the CNS and the rest of your organs, muscles, glands, and tissues to enable communication between them.
Structure
The PNS has three main components:
- Autonomic Nervous System: This division controls involuntary actions such as digestion, respiration, heart rate, salivation, perspiration, and sexual arousal. It can be further divided into two parts—sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
- Somatic Nervous System: This branch deals with voluntary movements like walking, running, and manipulating objects. When you decide to move your arm up, it's your somatic nervous system at work—it receives commands from your brain, and muscle movement occurs as a result.
- Sensory Nerves: These nerves transmit sensations of touch, temperature, pain, and pressure back to the spinal cord and brain.
Functions
The PNS carries out several essential functions, including:
- Transmits signals related to pain, heat, cold, and pressure from the skin to the central nervous system.
- Controlling the activity of internal organs, maintaining blood pressure, regulating food intake, and adjusting metabolism.
- Facilitating conscious activities such as reflexes, coordination, and posture.
- Maintaining balance by sending messages to the brain about changes in head and body position.
Diseases Involving PNS
Several diseases affect the PNS, some of which include:
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS): A disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A condition caused by compression of median nerve in the wrist.
- Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): Also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, this is characterized by severe pain and swelling in one limb.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): A disease affecting the central nervous system, which may result in damage to PNS fibers.
In summary, the PNS plays a critical role in keeping our bodies functioning smoothly. From allowing us to feel temperature differences to controlling blood flow and regulating our breathing, understanding how the peripheral nervous system works can give us insights into our overall health and wellbeing.
