Answer:

The Somatic nervous system and The autonomic nervous system

are two parts of the peripheral nervous system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The peripheral nervous system is a part of the nervous system which is present outside the spinal cord and the brain.

Its function is to link the central nervous system to the organs and limbs.

The peripheral nervous system is of two types

Somatic nervous system: its main function is to regulate the body movements and the control of voluntary muscular activity is called reflex arcs

The autonomic nervous system: its function is to control all the body functions like digestion, urination.heart rate, pupillary response, and respiratory rate.
