Abstract
This article is from a presentation at the 2010 STP/IFSTP Symposium on Neuropathology. The organization and basic structure of the peripheral nervous system is reviewed. Examples of toxicant-induced peripheral nerve injury such as neuronopathy, axonopathy, and myelinapathy are discussed, as are contemporary methods for examination of these tissues.
