  • The peripheral nervous system is one of two components that make up the nervous system of bilateral animals, with the other part being the central nervous system. 
  • The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord. Hence, System consisting all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord best describes the peripheral nervous system.
So, the correct answer is 'System consisting of all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord'.
