The 'Peripheral Nervous System' or PNS comprises of the nerves that are located in the peripheral area, outside the CNS. The peripheral nervous system mainly consists nerves, bunch of axons from several neurons, that join the CNS with sense organs and also with different muscles and glands all over the human body.
