Answer:

Meninges

Step-by-step explanation:

The Peripheral nervous system includes all the nervous tissues that are present outside of the central nervous system. Meninges are the membranes made of connective tissues and make the protective covering around the brain and spinal cord.

Since the brain and spinal cord together make the central nervous system, meninges are not under the regulation of the peripheral nervous system.
