Step 1

The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system, which organize and integrates information. The PNS connects the central nervous system (CNS) to sensory organs (such as the eye and ear), other bodily organs, muscles, blood vessels, and glands. The peripheral nerves comprise cranial nerves, spinal nerves and roots, and autonomic nerves, which are responsible for controlling the heart muscle, blood vessel wall muscles, and glands. PNS neuron axons are bundled together to form a nerve fiber.
