What part of the peripheral nervous system carries the sensory and motor information to and from the central nervous system?

You have thousands of nerves that are part of the PNS.
Divisions of the peripheral nervous system include the afferent (sensory) division and the efferent (motor) division. The nerves coming from all the senses and the nerves going to glands and muscles are included.
The efferent division is divided further into the somatic motor nervous system and the
somatic nervous system which includes all voluntary motor pathways outside the central nervous system.

∙ 9y agoThis the exact definition of the PNS, to carry information into and out of the CNS (brain and spinal cord). They consist of sensory neurons and motor neuron fibers which run together as spinal nerves.

How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? We can help our nervous systems by improving our reflexes
All nervous tissue outside of the central nervous system is part of this nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves outside the central nervous system.
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
What are the structures and functions of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system?
The central nervous system is the control center of the body. It includes the brain and spinal cord.There are three main regions of the brain that receive and process information: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The spinal cord is the link between your brain and the peripheral nervous system.The second division of the nervous system is the peripheral nervous system.The peripheral nervous system consists of a network of nerves that branch out from the central nervous system and connect it to the rest of the body. The peripheral nervous system is involved in both involuntary and ­voluntary actions.
What carries impulses from the skin to the central nervous system?
A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.
What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors.
Which part of the nervous system carries impulses between the body and the central?
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses between the spinal cord and other body parts.
What carries messages from the central nervous system to the other parts of the body?
peripheral nervous system
Is this correct the autonomic nervous system activates the body while the peripheral nervous system restores normal functioning?
The automatic nervous system triggers the "fight or flight" response in the nervous system while the peripheral nervous system carries information to and from the central nervous system.
What are two main jobs of the nervous system?
The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
Carries messages from the central neurons to other parts of the body?
peripheral nervous system
The cranial and spinal nerves form what nervous system?
the peripheral nervous system
How are the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system related?
The two work together. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord; the peripheral nervous system is comprised of all the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.The peripheral nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system, which assesses that information, and then sends motor control signals back down the peripheral nervous system to cause the body to act in relation to the information or events sensed.
The nervous system is divided into which two subsystems?
The Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous system
What nervous system carries brain and spinal cord signals to other organs?
It is the central nervous system
What the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).
