The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made of the nerve cells that are not in the brain or the spinal cord. One part of the PNS, the autonomic system, controls things that you aren’t able to. The auto-nomic system has two parts. The para-sympathetic part helps your body to do things while relaxing, like digest food and slow your heartbeat. The sympathetic part is more active when you’re stressed. It might increase your heart rate and help you take in more oxygen.
