Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for transmitting information between the central nervous system (CNS) and the rest of the body. Specifically, it relays signals from the CNS to muscles and organs (B), allowing for movement and control of bodily functions. It also transmits information from the limbs and organs to the CNS (E), allowing for sensory input and perception of the outside world. Sending information from the spinal cord to the CNS (A), supporting and nourishing the brain and spinal cord (C), and insulating nerves for better conduction of signals (D) are functions of other parts of the nervous system, such as the spinal cord, glial cells, and the myelin sheath.
