Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The components of the peripheral nervous system.
Introduction:
Nervous system is responsible for sensing the stimulus, integration of the sensory input, and triggering output response. It is classified into two anatomical sub-parts: central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The peripheral nervous system is responsible for connecting the brain and the spinal cord with the rest of the body.
