Peripheral nerves

Peripheral nerves are part of the nervous system that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. They are responsible for transmitting signals between your brain and muscles, organs, and skin, allowing you to move, feel sensations, and maintain bodily functions. Unlike the central nervous system, which consists only of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves extend throughout the body. They play a crucial role in everything from voluntary movements to reflexes and even the detection of pain, making them essential for everyday activities and overall bodily coordination.
