Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the brain and spinal cord with the rest of the body. It includes nerves that transmit signals from sensory organs and muscles to the central nervous system (CNS) and nerves that send instructions from the CNS to the muscles and glands. The diencephalon and telencephalon are parts of the brain, while the enteric nervous system is a network of neurons in the digestive system that regulates digestion.
