Which of the following is part of the peripheral nervous system?
rosijanka [135]
There are many parts of the peripheral nervous system, but options are not listed below.

I will use my best prediction using deductive reasoning to proves which is part of the PNS - peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system is defined as a bundle of neurons, that is neither the brain or spine (which is in the CNS - central nervous system)

As you may know the PNS, is broken down into two pieces.

The autonomic and somatic nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system as you may know is the part of the PNS, that controls involuntary activities. e.x breathing, heartrate, blood pressure, temperature, etc. 

The somatic nervous system on the other hand is voluntary, and is associated with the feelings of the body. (heat, cold, touch, smell)

Illusion [34]

The answer is; Thyroid hormones levels decrease, TRH levels increase, and PRL levels increase.


The thyroid gland is responsible for producing the growth hormone thyroid hormone. When the  gland is reduced, then intuitively, the levels of thyroid hormone reduce in the body.  This causes the hypothalamus to release thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) in an attempt to spur thyroid hormone production to normal levels. THR, in a domino effect, causes the pituitary to release higher levels prolactin  (PRL).
