Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is that part of your nervous system that lies outside your brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peripheral nervous system transmits information to and from the CNS. This is accomplished through nerves that carry information from sensory receptors in the eyes, ears, skin, nose, and tongue, as well as stretch receptors and nociceptors in muscles, glands, and other internal organs.
