The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes nerves outside of the CNS. The PNS relays information to and from the CNS through sensory and motor neurons. The CNS processes the information and sends out responses through the PNS to regulate activities in the body.

Are nerves more myelinated or unmyelinated in the CNS?

Nope. They can be found in the PNS as well. The myelinated ones in the CNS are made my Schwann cells. And the ones made in the PNS are made by oligodendrocytes.


Are the interneurons in the PNS?

No, interneurons are found in the central nervous system (CNS), not the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The main function of interneurons is to relay signals between sensory neurons and motor neurons in the CNS.
