Study Notes

Central Nervous System (CNS)

The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body.
The PNS is responsible for transmitting and receiving information between the CNS and the periphery (skin, muscles, and organs).
The main function of the PNS is to act as a communication pathway between the CNS and the rest of the body.
The main job of the PNS is to transmit sensory information from the periphery to the CNS and motor signals from the CNS to the periphery.
The PNS is functionally divided into somatic nerves (carry voluntary motor signals) and autonomic nerves (carry involuntary motor signals and sensory information).
The PNS plays a crucial role in the body by enabling the CNS to perceive and respond to changes in the environment.
