Based on the question, all of the following are functions of the peripheral nervous system except it interprets signals from the external environment.

One of the structures of the Nervous System is the peripheral nervous system. The other one is called the Central Nervous System.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The peripheral nervous system encompasses all the neurons that exist outside the brain and spinal cord. In other words, it comprises all the nerves that are connected to the spinal cord and the brain, which are parts of the Central Nervous System, and further advance to other parts of the body as well as muscles and organs

The peripheral nervous system is structured into two systems: (a) the autonomic nervous system; (b) the somatic nervous system.

Primarily, one of the functions of the peripheral nervous system is connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body and the external environment. This process is completed through nerves that process information from sensory organs in the tongue, ears, eyes, and nose, as well as pain receptors and stretch receptors in glands, muscles, and other internal organs.  

Another function of the peripheral nervous system also includes controlling the release of secretions from most exocrine glands. The peripheral nervous system also stimulates the muscles surrounding sense organs, so it is involved in speaking, chewing, swallowing and biting.

The right option is; it interprets signals from the external environment  

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made up of all parts of the nervous system, except the brain and spinal cord (parts of the central nervous system). The peripheral nervous system functions as a channel through which neural signals are transferred from and to the central nervous system. Two types of neurons (sensory and motor neurons) functions in the PNS. The motor neurons transfer neural signals from the central nervous system directly to various muscles, glands, and organs (effectors) throughout the body.

compare the four kinds of tissues connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. hi and also if you do
kirza4 [7]
<h3><u>Connective tissue:</u></h3>

It is the layer under the epithelial tissue in the body. It is stronger than epithelial tissue and is found in many organs. It provides protection.

<h3><u>Epithelial tissue:</u></h3>

It covers the outside of the body like a veil. located in the outermost part of the body. Protects the body against microbes and infections.

<h3><u>Muscle tissue:</u></h3>

It is located in the joint areas and forms the support and movement system. It allows us to make bodily movements.

<h3><u>Nervous tissue:</u></h3>

It is the fastest communication tissue. It allows us to feel pain and the sense of touch. It is impossible to repair this tissue after it is damaged. It causes paralysis. It is very important as it plays a role in the activity of neural transmission.
