    This document provides an overview of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in 3 paragraphs: 1) It defines the PNS and describes its main functions as relaying sensory information to the brain, controlling motor movements, and regulating automatic body processes like digestion. 2) It describes the basic structure of the PNS, including cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and connections to the brain and spinal cord. 3) It lists some common diseases that can affect the PNS like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and peripheral nerve injuries, and notes that treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include surgery, therapy, and managing related health conditions.

    Peripheral Nervous System
    Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of two main parts of body’s
    nervous system.
    PNS feeds information into your brain from most of your senses.
    It carries signals that allow you to move your muscles.
    It also delivers signals that your brain uses to control vital,
    unconscious processes like your heartbeat and breathing.
    The PNS includes the peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junctions,
    cranial nerves, and spinal nerves.
    Structure
    Functions:
    The four primary functions of the PNS are to:

    • Control autonomic body functions

    • Control motor movements

    • Digestion

    • Relay sensory information to the central nervous system


    Anatomy
    It includes:
    • Cranial Nerves:
    There are 12 pairs of nerves that connect directly to your brain, and 11 of
    them are part of your peripheral nervous system. These 11 nerves are part
    of your senses of smell, sound, taste, and the sense of touch you have in
    the skin on your head, face and neck.
    • Spinal Nerves:
    These are 31 pairs of nerves that attach to your spine at about the same
    level as each segment bone (vertebra) in your spine.
    Diseases of the Peripheral Nervous System
    There are a number of diseases and disorders that can affect the
    PNS. Some of the conditions that can affect the PNS include:
    • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
    • Carpal tunnel syndrome
    • Diabetes
    • Epstein-Barr virus
    • Lupus
    • Peripheral nerve injuries
    • Rheumatoid arthritis
    • Tumours
    • Vitamin deficiency
    Treatment for PNS Conditions
    Treatment for peripheral nerve problems depends on the cause
    and focuses on treating the underlying disorder and offering
    supportive care. For example, some PNS conditions may be caused
    by injury while others may be related to underlying health
    conditions, viruses, toxins, or genetic disorders.

    In addition treatment may also involve surgery, physical therapy,


    occupational therapy, speech/language therapy,
    and respiratory support.
