Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord. Afferent neurons, also known as sensory neurons, are part of the peripheral nervous system because they carry sensory information from the body's periphery (such as the skin, sensory organs) towards the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The cerebrum, thalamus, and spinal cord are all components of the central nervous system, not the peripheral nervous system.
