The peripheral nervous system is made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) divisions. The motor division is furthermore split into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. Lastly, the autonomic nervous system is split into the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.
