Peripheral Nervous System


There are mainly two types of nerves: cranial and spinal
The peripheral nervous system consists of all the nerves that leave the central nervous system and are branching out to reach all parts of the body.
There are mainly two types of nerves: The cranial and spinal.
Cranial nerves are connected directly to the brain, are twelve pairs and belong to the eyes, ears, nose, palate and tongue.


These nerves allow instant transmission to the brain of what we see, hear, smell, and taste. Mandan warnings about "dangers" that we face and this allows the brain to respond immediately and send orders to serve and protect.

The 31 pairs of spinal nerves exit the spinal cord to the right and left sides of our bodies, are large and organized teams that perform different tasks like running the heart, lungs, skin and all the rest of the body.

The spinal nerves are also other system, the Nervous Skeletal responsible for controlling all movements voluntary muscle movements, ie we do when we want, like walking, running, writing, or chew.

Cranial nerves and spinal work in coordination so that the body can react quickly. For example the cranial nerves of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch send some warning signs and act quickly to spinal react protecting us from danger.
