Details of the spatial structure of the narrow-line region (NLR) in NGC 4151 are presented, and the structure of the NLR is compared to that of the radio and X-ray emission. Results for the morphology and excitation of the NLR, the luminosity of the extranuclear features, and the kinematics are presented, citing published research. These results are used to test several models: the X-ray gas in pressure equilibrium with the adjacent NLR, the X-ray gas identified as shock-heated NLR clouds flowing supersonically through the ambient galactic interstellar medium, X-rays arising in SNR and massive X-ray binaries produced in bursts of star formation stimulated by nuclear outflow, and X-ray and line emission regions ionized indirectly by the radio jet.
