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.
