Peripheral nervous system provides communication between the Central Nervous System and other parts of the body. The components are cranial nerves and spinal nerves. Cranial nerves are from the brain whereas spinal nerves are from the spinal cord

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the part of the nervous system that consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord.The main function of the PNS is to connect the central nervous system(CNS) to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a communication relay going back and forth between the brain and the extremities.


Compounds


Neurons -The cells that make up the nervous system are called neurons. Long, stringy neurons are perfect for carrying the electrical messages that are the "language" of the nervous system.


Brain -The brain is the command center of your entire body. The brain is the body's main information center. It is made of billions of neurons. The brain helps the body respond to the information it receives from the senses. The brain also processes thoughts. When you think, neurons in your brain are working.



Spinal Cord- The spinal cord is a tube of neurons that runs up the spine and attaches to the brain stem. Information from nerves that branch out to the rest of the body goes to the spinal cord. Some messages are processed by the spinal cord but most information is sent on to the brain.
