The Nervous System: Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

From the ProEdify TEAS study guide, this is part of the lesson on the Nervous System.

Besides the brain and spinal cord, there is a vast network of nervous tissue that spans the body. This is called the peripheral nervous system. In this video we discuss the major peripheral nervous system divisions (PNS), sensory neurons vs motor neurons, and also the reflex arc.
