Sensory Neurons
Send info to the CNS
Motor neurons
Carry info from the CNS to glands, organs, and muscles
Somatic nervous system
Part of the PNS that controls the voluntary systems (afferents from skin, muscles, joints)
Autonomic Nervous System
Part of the PNS that controls involuntary muscles such as cardiac and smooth muscle
