1 answer

The correct responses regarding the peripheral nervous system are:

  • links the body to the brain and spinal cord.
  • is made up of sensory and motor neurons.

The first option is incorrect because the peripheral nervous system does not include the brain and spinal cord; those are components of the central nervous system. The last option is also incorrect as the peripheral nervous system does not handle thought and reasoning; that's primarily the function of the central nervous system.
