PNS (peripheral nervous
system)
Purpose
The (PNS) is the division of the
nervous system containing all
the nerves that lie outside of
the central nervous system
(CNS) that connect the CNS to
the organs, limbs, and skin.
Function
The peripheral nervous system
consists of nerve cells out of
the brain and spinal cord. The
PNS follow the commands of
CNS. They transmit
information from and to the
CNS from the body parts.
CNS (central nervous
system)
The CNS is made up of the
brain and spinal cord. The
brain plays a central role in the
control of most bodily
functions, including
awareness, movements,
sensations, thoughts, speech,
and memory. Reflex
movements can occur via
spinal cord pathways without
the participation of brain
structures.
The central nervous system is
mad up of the brain and spinal
cord. The brain controls
everything and all functions of
the body. The spinal cord
connects the brain to all the
nerves in our body. It is
responsible for the reflex
actions and sends impulses
from the brain to nerves in the
body.
Structure
The peripheral nervous system
is composed of somatic and
autonomous nervous systems.
The central nervous system is
made up of the brain and
spinal cord.
