What is the network of nerves that connects the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body and carries out commands of the CNS?
Correct Answer:
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Explanation:
The peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord that connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body, carrying out its commands. It transmits motor signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands and brings sensory information from the body back to the CNS for processing. This distinguishes it from the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord themselves, and from the autonomic and endocrine systems, which handle automatic body functions and SAMPLEhormonal signaling, respectively.
