Detailed explanation-1: -The peripheral nervous system is further subdivided into an afferent (sensory) division and an efferent (motor) division. The afferent or sensory division transmits impulses from peripheral organs to the CNS.
Detailed explanation-2: -The PNS consists of the rest of the nervous system. The PNS can be divided into two components – the afferent division and the efferent division.
