Question

lo 6.6. what is the pns responsible for?
relaying information between the cns and the rest of the body
regulating the immune system
generating electrical signals for muscle contraction
controlling blood glucose levels
controlling voluntary muscle movements

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all the nerves outside the central nervous system (CNS). Its main function is to relay sensory and motor information between the CNS (brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. The immune - system regulation is mainly related to the endocrine and immune systems themselves. Muscle contraction electrical signals are generated by motor neurons in the nervous system but not the main role of PNS. Blood glucose levels are controlled by the endocrine system (e.g., insulin and glucagon). Voluntary muscle movement control involves the CNS as well as the PNS, but the key function of PNS is information - relaying.

Answer:

Relaying information between the CNS and the rest of the body
