Question

divisions of the peripheral nervous system
● sensory (afferent) division: carries sensory information toward the central nervous system.
● motor (efferent) division: carries motor commands away from the central nervous system.
● somatic nervous system: controls voluntary movements.
● autonomic nervous system: controls involuntary actions, which is further divided into the sympathetic (mobilizes the body) and parasympathetic (relaxes the body) divisions

1. what are the division of the peripheral nervous system?

1. what is the somatic nervous system?

1. what is the autonomic nervous system

Explanation:

1. The peripheral nervous system has two main divisions: the sensory (afferent) division which carries sensory information to the central nervous system and the motor (efferent) division which carries motor commands away from the central nervous system. The motor division is further divided into the somatic nervous system (controls voluntary movements) and the autonomic nervous system (controls involuntary actions, with sympathetic and parasympathetic subdivisions).
2. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements.
3. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions and is further divided into the sympathetic (mobilizes the body) and parasympathetic (relaxes the body) divisions.

Answer:

1. Sensory (Afferent) Division and Motor (Efferent) Division. The Motor (Efferent) Division is further divided into Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System.
2. Controls voluntary movements.
3. Controls involuntary actions, further divided into sympathetic (mobilizes the body) and parasympathetic (relaxes the body) divisions.
