What does the PNS control and what does it allow you to do?

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) controls all the nerves outside the central nervous system (CNS), connecting the CNS to the limbs and organs. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain and relaying motor commands from the brain to the body. This allows you to perform voluntary actions like moving your arms and legs, as well as involuntary functions such as regulating heartbeat and digestion. Overall, the PNS plays a crucial role in enabling communication between the body and the brain.
