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.

Which evidence from "Healing a Wounded Heart: Daniel Hale Williams" best supports the idea that Williams was a dedicated doctor
Oxana [17]

Answer:

He successfully and carefully performed a heart surgery on a man with a knife wound to the heart even though there were no X-ray machines to help him see into heart, while still making sure everything was done under antiseptic conditions.

Explanation:

Dr William Hale was in a dilemma when a black man with a knife wound to the heart stumbled into his hospital, Provident Hospital. Since there were no X-ray machines to help see into the heart the extent of the wound, the only option was opening the heart itself. It was a surgery no one had performed before, so it was a great risk. However, not performing the operation too was sure to result in the death of the man.

Dr William Hale confidently reassured the man that he could help. Assisted by other doctors, he carefully cut into the man's chest, examined the depth of the stab wound, found and repaired a torn blood vessel, stitched up the pericardium, and very carefully cleaned the wound and the chest cavity, to make sure that no infection set in. Afterwards, he sealed up the man's chest while still ensuring everything he did was done under antiseptic conditions. The man survived and lived in for many decades.
