Detailed explanation-1: -Cranial nerves: There are 12 pairs of nerves that connect directly to your brain, and 11 of them are part of your peripheral nervous system (the second cranial nerve, which controls your vision, is part of your central nervous system).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves leading from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. It is made up of 31 pairs of nerves coming out of the spinal column openings (spinal nerves) and 12 pairs of nerves coming out of the opening in the skull (cranial nerves).
Detailed explanation-4: -There are three types of peripheral nerves: motor, sensory and autonomic. Some neuropathies affect all three types of nerves, while others involve only one or two.
