Is the peripheral nervous system made up of the brain in the spinal cord or links the body to the brain and spinal cord or is made up of sensory of motor neurons or is responsible for thought and reasoning
1 answer
The peripheral nervous system is the system of nerves that connects the body to the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of sensory and motor neurons that transmit information between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for receiving sensory input from the environment, sending motor commands to muscles and glands, and coordinating reflex responses. It is not responsible for thought and reasoning, which are functions of the brain.
