They belong to the peripheral nervous system, as opposed to the central nervous system (as they are to be found on the periphery of the body).
That part of the nervous system is called the peripheral nervous system. Anything outside the brain and the spinal cord (central NS) belongs to that PNS.

The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the movement of your legs when you walk is the somatic nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements of skeletal muscles. The nerves in this system receive signals from the brain to initiate and coordinate leg movements during walking.
Moths are arthropods because they have jointed legs and a chitin exoskeleton and birds are chordata because they have a backbone and nervous system.
the fetus kicks its legs due to its nervous system!
A giraffe's nervous system includes a brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves that aid in coordinating movement, sensation, and adapting to the environment. Their long neck houses specialized nerves that help regulate blood pressure and maintain balance, allowing them to stand tall and reach high branches for food. The giraffe's nervous system also plays a crucial role in their unique behaviors, such as alertness to predators and social interactions with other giraffes.
The main function of the peripheral nerves is to connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs of the human body. It is the connection that communicates between the brain and the limbs and tells them when and how to move.

vertebrae make up the spine (backbone) of vertebrate animals.
In the abdominal cavity you should be able to observe vague nerves which carry nerve impulses to the liver, heart, lungs, pancreas, intestine, and stomach. Sympathetic ganglia may also be observed. In the hind legs you should be able to observe the sciatic nerve.
