All the nerves that come out from the brain and spinal cord, extending to receive sensory stimulus from the skin, comprise the peripheral nervous system.
The pathways by which the central nervous system receives sensory information from the body and sends commands to muscles. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two halves. The sensory system brings information in from the body, while the motor system sends commands out to muscles.
is defined as those nerves that lie outside the brain, brainstem or spinal cord. The PNS consists of nerve trunks made up of both afferent fibres or axons conducting sensory information to the spinal cord and brainstem and efferent fibres transmitting impulses primarily to the muscles
a collection of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body and the external environment.
nerves and nerve cells outside the central nervous system; abb. PNS.
Neurons that transmit information to and from the central nervous system and whose cell bodies reside outside the brain or spinal cord.
The nerves throughout the body that send messages to the central nervous system.
The part of the nervous system that includes the nerves that are outside the brain or spinal cord. If damaged, peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate.
Complete set of nerves and ganglia carrying information towards or away from the central nervous system
the section of the nervous system lying outside the brain and spinal cord
all nerves and neurons in the body other than those in the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord.
All the nerves and nerve cells outside the Central Nervous System.
That portion of the nervous system that lies outside the brain and spinal cord. It includes nerves and ganglia (nerve tissue).
Those neurons lying wholly or in part outside of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal and cranial nerves are examples.
per-RIF-er-al NER-vous SIS-tum (PNS) Neurons that transmit information to and from the central nervous system. 618
All nerves and neurons that lie outside the brain and spinal cord
Nervous system in the body aside from the brain and spinal cord. The PNS can be affected by MS.
Consists of neurons connecting the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) to the rest of the body. Sensory neurons bring information to the central nervous system from sensory receptors of the body. Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to organs such as muscles and glands.
The part of the vertebrate nervous system located outside the skull and spine.
The nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system has autonomic and somatic divisions. The autonomic nervous system includes the enteric, parasympathetic, and sympathetic subdivisions. The somatic nervous system includes the cranial and spinal nerves and their ganglia and the peripheral sensory receptors.
The part of the nervous system consisting of the sensory and motor nerve pathways connecting the spinal column and all the muscles of the trunk, arms, and legs.
The nervous system which links the spine and brain to the skin, muscles, blood vessels and other sensory organs. search for Peripheral nervous system
Consists of the neurons throughout the body with the exception of those in the CNS. These include the sensory neurons, which detect any sensory stimuli and alert the CNS of their presence, and motor neurons, which connect the CNS to the muscles and carry out instructions from the CNS for movement.
that part of the nervous system excluding the brain and spinal cord; that is peripheral nerves and their associated muscles and end-sensory organs.
The network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Unlike nerves in the central nervous system, peripheral nerves can regrow after an injury.
The division of the nervous system that connects the central nervous system to other parts of the body. Components of the nervous system that transmit messages to the central nervous system.
Refers to the nerves and muscular structures
Neurons and nerve fibres outside of the brain and spinal cord.
part of the central nervous system that includes cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and the sympathetic nervous system.
the portion of the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord; nerves that run from the spinal cord to the rest of the body.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the part of the nervous system that consists of the nerves and neurons that reside or extend outside the central nervous system--to serve the limbs and organs, for example. The peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
connects the central nervous system to all body tissues and voluntary muscles.
( PNS) the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord that branch to all parts of the body. (See CNS)
The nerves in the body other than the brain and spine.
the peripheral part of the nervous system external to the brain and spinal cord from their roots to their peripheral terminations.
The parts of the nervous system that are outside the brain and spinal cord.
A division of the nervous system consisting of all nerves not part of the brain or spinal cord.
Nerves outside the spinal cord and brain (not part of the central nervous system). If damaged, peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate.
peripheral nerves and muscular structures
The division of the nervous system that includes all the nerves lying outside the central nervous system. Reference: B2
the division of the nervous system, composed of the nerves, that conveys sensory information to the central nervous system and motor commands from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles and internal organs. (67)
the set of neurons and parts of neurons that lie outside of the CNS
The cranial nerves (12 pair), spinal nerves (31 pair) nerve plexuses, and the spinal and autonomic ganglia associated with them.
Consists of all of the nerves in the body (outside the CNS) which carry signals from the CNS to the muscles and organs as well as signals from the body into the CNS.
Part of central nervous system related to vital organs.
One of the two major divisions of the nervous system. Nerves in the PNS connect the central nervous system with sensory organs, other organs, muscles, blood vessels, and glands.

The portion of the nervous system in an organism that consists of all the neurons outside the central nervous system.
the part of the nervous system that includes the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves.
That part of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord; it includes the autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system. See also autonomic nervous system, somatic nervous system.
