Detailed explanation-1: -The peripheral nervous system refers to parts of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. It includes the cranial nerves, spinal nerves and their roots and branches, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cranial nerves emerge from the cranium (brain/brainstem) whilst spinal nerves leave the CNS via the spinal cord. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 spinal nerve pairs, giving a total of 43 paired nerves forming the basis of the peripheral nervous system.
