Pia mater

Question 24

(What are the) divisions of the PNS?

Answer 24

The sympathetic division: to rouse your body for physical activity
Parasympathetic division: Slows your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure.

Or:

The Automatic Nervous system
The Somatic Motor nervous system

Question 25

How many cranial nerves and sets of spinal nerves are there?

Answer 25

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves which constitute the peripheral nervous system or PNS.

Question 26
