AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory: These nerves carry information to your brain and spinal cord. They either connect directly to your brain through your cranial nerves or carry information to your spinal nerves, which then feed into your spinal cord. The sensory nerve connections to your spinal cord are on the back of your spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -Afferent neurons in the dorsal roots carry impulses from the body’s sensory receptors to the spinal cord, where the information begins to be processed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The PNS is made up of two divisions: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic system contains sensory and motor neurons. It sends and receives sensory information and motor signals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the neurons and parts of neurons found outside of the CNS, includes sensory neurons and motor neurons. Sensory neurons bring signals into the CNS, and motor neurons carry signals out of the CNS.

Detailed explanation-5: -The PNS is a vast network of spinal and cranial nerves that are linked to the brain and the spinal cord. It contains sensory receptors which help in processing changes in the internal and external environment.
