The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the part of the nervous system that lies outside of the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of nerves and ganglia and is responsible for carrying information to and from the central nervous system to the rest of the body. The PNS is composed of two components: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is responsible for conscious control of the body, while the autonomic nervous system is responsible for automatic control of the body.
