Solution
The human nervous system has three components—central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system.

(ii) Peripheral nervous system (PNS): PNS consists of all the nerves and the nerve network which is present in the body. It is formed by the cranial and spinal nerves which connect the body parts to CNS.
(iii) Autonomic nervous system (ANS): ANS is an involuntary nervous system. It controls involuntary actions and coordinates the organs such as the heart, stomach and lungs, which do not function according to our will.
