The nervous system.
PNS means peripheral nervous system. CNS means central nervous system.
The peripheral nervous system consists of all the spinal nerves and cranial nerves. These nerves connect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body, allowing for communication and control of bodily functions.
Neuropathy can affect the brain. It can damage the cranial nerves that lead out of the brain. The cranial nerves, except for cranial nerve II which is the optic nerve, are a part of the peripheral nervous system.
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that are part of the PNS. These nerves are sensory, mixed and mostly motor.
Cranial nerves and spinal nerves.
Yes, cranial nerves are considered part of the CNS because they arise directly from the brain rather than the spinal cord. They play a crucial role in sensory and motor functions of the head and neck.
somatic
Cranial nervesCranial Nerves only originate in the brain and carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck.
Central Nervous System?
