AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Peripheral nerves reside outside your brain and spinal cord. They relay information between your brain and the rest of your body. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cranial nerves: There are 12 pairs of nerves that connect directly to your brain, and 11 of them are part of your peripheral nervous system (the second cranial nerve, which controls your vision, is part of your central nervous system).

Detailed explanation-3: -The two divisions of the PNS are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic system includes the nerves that transmit motor and sensory information to and from the CNS. The autonomic system regulates automatic body functions including digestion and blood pressure.
