Solution:

PNS consists of myelinated and non-myelinated nerve fibers. In PNS the myelin nerves are made up of Schwann cells that secrete the sheath. Non-myleinated neurons also show presence of Schwann cells but they do not secrete Myelin sheath. The most common neurotransmitter is acetylcholine, which often is the messenger between axons and muscles. Spinal cord and cranial nerves are made up of myelinated fibres.
