Re: [HAPS-L] Cauda Equina

I would agree.  I've always seen the CNS defined as the brain and spinal cord.  Cauda equina is not part of the brain or spinal cord, hence it's part of the PNS.

Is the cauda equina part of the CNS or PNS?

(It is still surrounded by the meninges...)

Thanks in advance,

Well, I think you've answered your own question ("surrounded by the 
meninges").  The cauda equina consists of the dorsal and ventral 
roots of the lumbar and sacral segments.
