Question

What are the two main divisions of the peripheral nervous system?

Answer 1

The answer is the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be- somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system is the system of neurons formed by the neurons present outside the central system of neurons that is the spinal cord and the brain. The peripheral system of neurons connects the central nervous system with the organs of the body.

The peripheral nervous system is divided into two divisions:

1. Somatic system: the system which connects the central system to the skeletal muscle of the body as it sends and brings the signals from the central system to the skeletal organs.

2. Autonomic system: the system which connects the central nervous system to the smooth muscle organs of the body and controls the autonomic response of the body.

Thus, the somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system is the correct answer.
