PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Peripheral nerves send messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. They help do things such as sense that the feet are cold and move the body’s muscles for walking. Peripheral nerves are made of fibers called axons that are insulated by surrounding tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of your peripheral nervous system travel to the rest of your body by exiting or entering your spinal cord. Your cranial nerves are unlike other peripheral nerves in that these very special nerves connect directly to your brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peripheral nerves reside outside your brain and spinal cord. They relay information between your brain and the rest of your body. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
