Basically the peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all nerves and ganglia which are not in the central nervous system (CNS) which consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS can be divided in to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which controls involuntary functions such as heart rate and the production of saliva and the somatic nervous system.
ANS can be further divided in to two categories called the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). SNS and PNS are integral in the homeostatic regulation of the bodies functions.
The somatic nervous system is associated with the bodies voluntary movements such as those of the skeletal muscles, ie the act of you picking up a pen. It is also associated with receiving external stimuli ie hearing, sight and touch.
The peripheral nervous system is made up of: # The automous nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system) # The somatic nervous system (sensory and motoneurons, mostly) # The enteric nervous system (a somewhat autonomous system innervating only the gut)
The cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of cranial nerve II, the optic nerve, along with the retina.
A.Part of the PNS can control your skeletal muscles
B.Part of it can speed your body up
C.Part of it can keep your heart beating
D.Part of it can slow your body down
It gives it information and actions. The peripheral nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system, and motor controls from the central nervous system are sent to muscles via the peripheral nervous system.
The peripheral nervous system is ever other part of the nervous system, excluding the central nervous system ( the brain and spinal cord).
The peripheral nervous system consists of all nerves in the body outside the brain and spinal cord.
It can help control your skeletal muscles.

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) original answer by btbchris
Yes it is true that excretion is one function of the digestive system. The nervous system is made up of the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system.
The peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves outside the central nervous system.

The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
