Detailed explanation-3: -The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: 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.

The main purpose of the PNS is to conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination.
