Peripheral nervous system

This tutorial by Nicole from Kenhub covers the peripheral nervous system, a part of the nervous system that connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body. It includes the somatic, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems, each responsible for different functions. The somatic system controls voluntary movements, the autonomic system manages involuntary actions, and the enteric system regulates the gastrointestinal tract. The autonomic system is further divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which handle the body's fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest responses, respectively.

What functions does the autonomic nervous system control?

Differentiate between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

What is the enteric nervous system and why is it referred to as the 'brain in the bowel'?
