how do cns and pns work together?

Synapses form between the neurons, allowing them to communicate to other neurons or other systems in the body. The general flow of information is that the peripheral nervous system (PNS) takes in information through sensory neurons, then sends it to the central nervous system (CNS) to be processed.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system (SoNS) is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles.

The Nervous System is divided into two parts. What are they? 1) The CNS (Central Nervous System) and 2) The PNS (Peripheral Nervous System.

The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else (Figure 8.2).

The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. The PNS is everything else. Functionally, the nervous system can be divided into those regions that are responsible for sensation, those that are responsible for integration, and those that are responsible for generating responses.

The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord. The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.

The peripheral nervous system includes all of the neurons that sense and communicate data to the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system can be further divided into the autonomic system, which regulates involuntary actions, and the somatic system, which controls voluntary actions.

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. It is in the CNS that all of the analysis of information takes place. The peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the neurons and parts of neurons found outside of the CNS, includes sensory neurons and motor neurons.

Peripheral nervous system: The portion of the nervous system that is outside the brain and spinal cord. Abbreviated PNS. The nerves in the PNS connect the central nervous system (CNS) to sensory organs, such as the eye and ear, and to other organs of the body, muscles, blood vessels, and glands.

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response.
284542
The sensory or afferent division of the PNS includes nerves that have a sensory function and carry impulses to the CNS for integration. These are typically receptors that detect stimuli both from within the body (interoceptors) and outside the body (exteroceptors).

Anatomical terminology. The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two divisions, the other being the sympathetic, that together are called the autonomic nervous system, which is a division of another system called the peripheral nervous system (PNS)).

Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord). In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A). ... Are all axons covered with myelin? No; they can be either myelinated or unmyelinated.

Basic Structures The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS includes all other nervous system tissue. All sensory receptors, sensory neurons and motor neurons are part of the PNS. ... In the CNS, a group of neurons is called a nucleus.
1378225
Neurons in the CNS are covered by myelin sheath that maintains conduction of nerve impulse. Consistently, the CNS houses oligodendrocytes for myelin synthesis. On the other hand, Schwann cells are the myelinating cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
232897
The peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the neurons and parts of neurons found outside of the CNS, includes sensory neurons and motor neurons.
1717
The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of all the neurons that make up the brain and spinal cord . ... The CNS receives electrical impulses from sensory neurons connected to the sense organs. To coordinate the body's response. The CNS transmits electrical impulses, along motor neurons, to glands and muscles.
