Detailed explanation-1: -Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of the peripheral nervous system is to connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a relay between the CNS i.e. the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The central nervous system (defined as the brain and spinal cord) is usually considered to have seven basic parts: the spinal cord, the medulla, the pons, the cerebellum, the midbrain, the diencephalon, and the cerebral hemispheres (Figure 1.10; see also Figure 1.8).
