Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is that part of your nervous system that lies outside your brain and spinal cord. It plays key role in both sending information from different areas of your body back to your brain, as well as carrying out commands from your brain to various parts of your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our nervous system is divided in two components: the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which encompasses nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain is connected to the peripheral nervous system primarily by the spinal cord. The peripheral nerves in the head, or cranial nerves, connect directly to the brain. The spinal cord is a thick bundle of nerve fibers that runs up our back through the vertebrae of our backbone.
