What does the abbreviation PNS stand for?

Explanation:
PNS stands for the Peripheral Nervous System. This network includes all the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord and is responsible for carrying sensory information to the central nervous system and delivering motor commands from the central nervous system to muscles and glands. The other terms describe entirely different health concepts: a sexually transmitted disease is an infection spread through sexual contact, a cerebrovascular accident is a stroke, and a motor vehicle accident refers to a car crash.
