2. The PNS is divided into two subsystems: the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

Sensory Neurons

1. Some authors also include sensory neurons whose cell bodies lie in the periphery (for senses such as hearing) as part of the PNS; others, however, omit them.

Axons

1. Nerves A nerve is a bundle of axons in the PNS. Each axon or nerve fiber is wrapped in delicate connective tissue.
