Card 12 / 62:
Why are ganglia and nerves not surrounded by protective structures like the meninges of the CNS?
The peripheral nervous tissues are out in the body, sometimes part of other organ systems. There is not a privileged blood supply like there is to the brain and spinal cord, so peripheral nervous tissues do not need the same sort of protections.
