How does the CNS differ from the PNS?

• CNS is associated with the brain and spinal cord, while PNS is associated with tissue outside the CNS

• CNS is a subdivision of the PNS, while PNS is a subdivision of the CNS

• CNS and PNS are the same thing

What is the function of the afferent division of the PNS?

• Brings sensory information to the CNS

• Carries motor commands to muscles and glands

• Produces myelin in the PNS

• Regulates O2, CO2, nutrient, and neurotransmitter levels around neurons in ganglia
