Periphery

Periphery refers to the outer edges or boundary areas of a system, organization, or region, distinct from its central or core parts. In a biological context, it often describes nerves, blood vessels, or tissues located away from the center of an organism or organ. In social or organizational terms, it can describe individuals or groups on the outskirts or less central positions within a structure. The periphery plays a crucial role by connecting the core to the outer environment, facilitating communication, resource flow, or influence between the center and its surroundings.
