The role of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) are as follows:
- The peripheral nervous system is present outside the brain and spinal cord.
- It delivers information between the brain and the rest of the body and is divided into two main parts Autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the Somatic nervous system (SNS)
- The Autonomic nervous system controls involuntary body functions and it regulates glands in the body.
- The Somatic nervous system controls muscle movement and sends information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.
- Moreover, the three types of peripheral nerves are as follows:
- 1. Sensory nerves connects the brain and spinal cord to the skin. It allows feeling pain and other sensations.
- 2. The autonomic nerves control involuntary function.
- 3. The motor nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles to stimulate movement in the body.
