The peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body, allowing the brain and spinal cord to receive and send information to organs, limbs, and skin. It contains all the nerves outside of the central nervous system. These nerves extend from the central nervous system to the outermost areas of the body and are made up of axons or bundles of axons from neuron cells, ranging from very small to large enough to be seen by the human eye.

Peripheral Nervous System:
The Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the division of the nervous system containing
all the nerves that lie outside of the central nervous system (CNS). The primary role of
the PNS is to connect the CNS to the organs, limbs, and skin. These nerves extend
from the central nervous system to the outermost areas of the body. The peripheral
system allows the brain and spinal cord to receive and send information to other areas
of the body, which allows us to react to stimuli in our environment.

3. Peripheral Nervous System
The nerves that make up the peripheral
nervous system are actually the axons or
bundles of axons from neuron cells. In
some cases, these nerves are very small but
some nerve bundles are so large that they
can be easily seen by the human eye.
