The peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprises all the neural structures outside the brain and spinal cord, which constitute the central nervous system (CNS). The PNS has two main components: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system; the latter deals with involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands. As this book is concerned with skeletal muscles, it is only the somatic nervous system that is of interest.
