The 33 pages that link to Peripheral nervous system, each with the reason it gives.

• Multiple sclerosisCompared with: Its myelin is made by different cells, and it is not the primary site of multiple sclerosis.

• NociceptionNarrower topic: Peripheral nociceptors detect threats before their signals enter the central nervous system.

• Peripheral neuropathyNarrower topic: Peripheral neuropathy affects this system rather than the brain or spinal cord.

• Neuropathic painNarrower topic: Peripheral lesions are one major source of neuropathic pain.

• Central nervous systemCompared with: Together, it and the central nervous system make up the nervous system; their anatomical boundary is the key distinction.

• Nerve conduction studyNarrower topic: Nerve conduction studies examine this system rather than the central nervous system.

• Neural crestNarrower topic: Neural crest produces many peripheral neurons and supporting glial cells.

• Spinal cordCompared with: Spinal nerves belong to this system after they emerge from the cord.

• Guillain–Barré syndromeNarrower topic: Guillain–Barré syndrome primarily affects this nervous system, rather than the brain or spinal cord.

• Nervous systemBroader topic: It carries signals between central structures and body tissues.

• NeurologyNarrower topic: Many neurological disorders affect nerves beyond the brain and spinal cord.

• Diabetic neuropathyNarrower topic: Diabetic neuropathy commonly affects nerves in this wider system.

• Human anatomyBroader topic: Its branching nerves show how structures extend between the central nervous system and body regions.

• DemyelinationNarrower topic: Its myelin is made by Schwann cells and is affected in several neuropathies.

• Schwann cellNarrower topic: Schwann cells are the principal glia associated with axons in this system.

• Acute painNarrower topic: Peripheral sensory nerves detect many injury-related signals before they reach the spinal cord.

• Phantom limbNarrower topic: Signals from injured nerves in the residual limb can contribute to phantom sensations.

• Somatic nervous systemNarrower topic: The somatic division is organized within this broader system.

• Spinal nerveNarrower topic: Spinal nerves are a major set of connections within this system.

• Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathyNarrower topic: These are the nerves chemotherapy can damage, especially sensory fibers in the hands and feet.

• NeuropathologyNarrower topic: Its tissue disorders require examination beyond the brain and spinal cord.

• Theodor SchwannNarrower topic: Schwann cells are the principal glia associated with its nerve fibers.

• Nervous tissueNarrower topic: Its nerves carry signals between central nervous tissue and peripheral targets.

• Neurological disorderBroader topic: Damage here can impair sensation, movement, or autonomic function beyond the central nervous system.

• Acupuncture pointNarrower topic: Many proposed effects of point stimulation involve peripheral nerves beneath or near the skin.

• BenzocaineNarrower topic: Benzocaine acts on peripheral nerves near the treated tissue.

• Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathyNarrower topic: CIDP damages peripheral nerves rather than the brain or spinal cord.

• Charcot–Marie–Tooth diseaseNarrower topic: CMT affects peripheral nerves rather than directly damaging the central nervous system.

• Blood-nerve barrierNarrower topic: The barrier is a specialized feature of this nervous system.

• Human brainCompared with: It carries signals between the brain and tissues throughout the body.

• Brain (anatomy)Narrower topic: It contrasts with the brain as the body’s other major nervous-system territory.

• Ganglia (anatomy)Narrower topic: Ganglia are organized structures within this broader nervous system.

• Nervous System DiseasesBroader topic: Disorders here often impair sensation, muscle control, or autonomic functions.
