Peripheral Nervous System: Crash Course A&P #12

It is now time to meet the system that helps your crazy brain stay in touch with the outside world. We follow up last week’s tour of the central nervous system with a look at your peripheral nervous system, its afferent and efferent divisions, how it processes information, the reflex arc, and what your brain has to say about pain.
