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: -The CNS is made up of the brain and the spinal cord components. The PNS is all the nerves that branch out from the CNS components and extend to other body parts – to the sense organs, muscles, and glands. The PNS connects the CNS to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The PNS consists of nerves and ganglia, which lie outside the brain and the spinal cord. The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.
