Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
PNS Cranial nerves (12 pairs) Spinal Nerves (31 pairs)
Ganglia Group of cell bodies in PNS.
TYPES OF NERVES
SENSORY Towards CNS, Afferent nerve. (From receptors towards brain/spine)
MOTOR AWAY FROM CNS, efferent nerve From brain/spine to effectors (muscles)
MIXED Sensory and motor neurons.
SPINAL NERVES 31 pairs. All mixed out of spinal cord, branches come out through holes in vertebrate.
SPINAL NERVES COLOR CODE Cross section a-j.
