The peripheral nervous system has two main divisions:
1) The somatic nervous system controls muscle movement and relays sensory information to the central nervous system. It contains spinal and cranial nerves.
2) The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions and is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body and has three main functions: sensing the environment, controlling movement, and regulating unconscious processes like breathing and digestion. It contains sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves that relay information between the brain and other body systems.

(Main Divisions of the Peripheral Nervous System and Subdivisions of the Peripheral Nervous System)
INTRODUCTION
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is part of 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.
BODY
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
The peripheral nervous system (PNS)
consists of all the nervous tissue that lies outside of the central nervous system (CNS). The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the rest of the organism. It serves as a communication relay, going back and forth between the CNS and muscles, organs, and glands throughout the body.
Peripheral nerves reside outside your brain
and spinal cord. They relay information between your brain and the rest of your body. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts:
Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls
Controls involuntary bodily functions muscle movement and relays information and regulates glands. from ears, eyes and skin to the central SYMPATHETIC- it is nervous system. activated when the body is in a SPINAL NERVES- the nerves that dynamic role or stress. carry motor and sensory signals PARASYMPATHETIC- it between spinal cord and the body. maintains the body functions CRANIAL NERVES- the nerve and restores the body to normal fibers that carry information into and or relaxed mode. out of the brain stem. Those two subsystems are how your peripheral nervous system does its three main jobs:
Senses: Peripheral Nervous System is a key part of how your brain gets information about the world around you. Movement: Peripheral nerves deliver command signals to all the muscles in your body that you can consciously control. Unconscious processes: This is how your brain runs critical processes that don’t depend on your thinking about them.
Nerves consist of bundles of nerve cells, which have long, arm-like extensions called axons. The nerve cells and their axons twist and intertwine together to form nerve fibers. This is similar to how multiple strands of spun cloth fibers twist together to form sewing thread. Some of the nerves in that bundle carry information into your brain, while others carry information out of your brain.
Three types of peripheral nerves can be found within the two main areas of the peripheral nervous system:
Sensory: These nerves carry information to your brain and spinal cord. Motor: These nerves carry command signals from your brain to various parts of your body. Autonomic: These nerves control the automatic functions of the organs and systems in your body.
How does the peripheral nerve system help with other organs?
Your autonomic nervous system, which is a part of your peripheral nervous system, helps your brain control all of the vital organs in your body. That also helps your brain care for itself. An example of this is your brain controlling your heartbeat, which ensures your heart pumps blood to your body and brain. Without that blood flow, your brain would die in minutes.
CONCLUSION
The peripheral nervous system refers to parts of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. It includes the cranial nerves, spinal nerves and their roots and branches, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions. The anterior horn cells, although technically part of the central nervous system (CNS), are sometimes discussed with the peripheral nervous system because they are part of the motor unit.
In the peripheral nervous system, bundles of nerve fibers or axons conduct information to and from the central nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is the part of the nervous system concerned with the innervation of involuntary structures, such as the heart, smooth muscle, and glands within the body.
