PNS means peripheral nervous system. CNS means central nervous system.
The 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.
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.
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.
Yes, the nerves are part of the nervous system.
which
Yes, the PNS contains ganglia, cranial nerves, and spinal nerves.
Cranial nervesCranial Nerves only originate in the brain and carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck.
The peripheral nervous system contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain.They communicate with the central nervous system to make sure our body parts, such as our fingers, can send signals to the central nervous system for processing in our brains.
Nerves are part of the nervous system.
The somatic and autonomic nervous systems are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements and receives sensory information, while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary actions, such as heart rate and digestion.
The nervous system is composed of both central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral components, with the latter having both somatic and autonomic (parasympathetic and sympathetic) subdivisions.
