White matter is found in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In the CNS, white matter is located deep in the brain and on the outer part of the spinal cord, consisting of myelinated axons that facilitate communication between different parts of the brain. In the PNS, white matter is present in the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, serving to transmit signals between the CNS and the rest of 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.


Is the brain part of the CNS or the PNS?

part of the CNS


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.


How do the CNS and the PNS interact?

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.


What is the structural difference between the CNS and the PNS?

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 CNS acts as the main control center, while the PNS connects the CNS to the rest of the body.


Schwann cells and satellite cells are found only in the CNS?

No, in the PNS, or peripheral nervous system.

What do the nerves in the PNS do?

The PNS gathers all outside and foreign information and directs it to the CNS.


What cells make up the mylin sheath?

There are two cells that are involved in the myelin sheath. One type is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).These are the oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS).


What are collections of neurons?

nuclei in the CNS, ganglia in the PNS


Where are the receptors for ACH located?

Acetylcholine (ACh) receptors are found in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In the CNS, they are located on neurons, while in the PNS, they are found on muscle cells and at neuromuscular junctions.


What is the location of nervous system?

The nervous system is made up of two parts the central (CNS) and the peripheral (PNS). The CNS includes the brain, found in the head, and the spinal chord, found running through the spine. The PNS includes all of the peripheral nerves that run to all parts of the body, and so are found almost everywhere.
