MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

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: -The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the part of the nervous system outside of the CNS. It is made up of nerves and ganglia that send signals to and receive signals from the CNS. The PNS is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organs of the peripheral nervous system are the nerves and ganglia. Nerves are bundles of nerve fibers, much like muscles are bundles of muscle fibers. Cranial nerves and spinal nerves extend from the CNS to peripheral organs such as muscles and glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -The autonomic peripheral nervous system is a two neuron system with a neuron lying outside of the CNS in the autonomic ganglia. The nerve fibers have different sizes with different conduction velocities.

Detailed explanation-5: -The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord. These nerves form the communication network between the CNS and the body parts. The peripheral nervous system is further subdivided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
