Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The peripheral nervous system is divided on the basis of the functions into the sensory and motor divisions. Sensory pathways transmit signals from sensory receptors in the skin, muscles, and other organs to the central nervous system. Motor pathways carry information to muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
