the peripheral nervous system consists of 2 types of nerve systems:

1.cranial and spinal nerves

2.autonimic nervous system; which is further catogerized as : sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system.

the cranial and the spinal nerves ramify and connect the spinal cord and brain (the central nervous system) to whole of the body.

while the autonomic nervous system is responsible for controling the actions of the glands; the functions of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and urogenital systems; and the involuntary muscles in these systems and in the skin.
