You have thousands of nerves that are part of the PNS.
Divisions of the peripheral nervous system include the afferent (sensory) division and the efferent (motor) division. The nerves coming from all the senses and the nerves going to glands and muscles are included.
The efferent division is divided further into the somatic motor nervous system and the
somatic nervous system which includes all voluntary motor pathways outside the central nervous system.

Is this correct the autonomic nervous system activates the body while the peripheral nervous system restores normal functioning?

The automatic nervous system triggers the "fight or flight" response in the nervous system while the peripheral nervous system carries information to and from the central nervous system.


What are two main jobs of the 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.


What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?

Motor neurons carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs. They are a part of the peripheral nervous system and transmit signals to muscles and glands, causing them to contract or secrete in response to stimuli.

The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?

The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.

How are the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system related?

The two work together. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord; the peripheral nervous system is comprised of all the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.The peripheral nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system, which assesses that information, and then sends motor control signals back down the peripheral nervous system to cause the body to act in relation to the information or events sensed.
