b. central nervous system
c. peripheral nervous system
d. somatic nervous system

Answer 1

c. peripheral nervous system

Answer 2

c. peripheral nervous system

Step-by-step explanation:

The peripheral nervous system contains all nerve cells that are not part of the brain or spinal cord. That's because it is made up of nerves and nervous ganglia. Its main function is to promote the connection of our central nervous system with all parts, organs and tissues of our body. For this reason it is important that it is composed of many nerve cells because it will carry information from the organs to the central nervous system and vice versa.
