The Amazing Nervous System: the Peripheral Nervous System

The video tutorial explains the peripheral nervous system, which includes neurons and sensory organs outside the central nervous system. It details how these neurons connect to the brain and spinal cord, forming cranial and spinal nerves. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The autonomic system controls involuntary functions like heartbeat and digestion, while the somatic system is mostly under voluntary control, as demonstrated by snapping fingers. The sympathetic nervous system connects the central nervous system to muscles and organs.
