Detailed explanation-1: -Your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is that part of your nervous system that lies outside your brain and spinal cord. It plays key role in both sending information from different areas of your body back to your brain, as well as carrying out commands from your brain to various parts of your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Our nervous system is divided in two components: the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which encompasses nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nervous system is involved in receiving information about the environment around us (sensation) and generating responses to that information (motor responses). The nervous system can be divided into regions that are responsible for sensation (sensory functions) and for the response (motor functions).
Detailed explanation-4: -Schwann cells and satellite glia are the two main glial cell types of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Whereas satellite glia are found within ganglia in close association with neuronal somata, Schwann cells are found in close contact with axons in the peripheral nerves.
