Handout Lab 5 - Cranial Nerves: Assessment of Functions INTRODUCTION The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS receives sensory information from other parts of the body or the body’s external environment and transmits motor information to other parts of the body by way of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS of the human includes 31 pairs of spinal nerves and 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Some nerves contain only motor nerve fibers (efferent fibers);
