Step 1
The PNS or peripheral nervous system is the division of the nervous system which contains all the nerves lying outside of the CNS or central nervous system. Its primary role is to connect the CNS to the rest of the body's organs, limbs, and skin. These nerves extend from the CNS to the outermost parts of the body.
