Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Degeneration and death of nerves in the peripheral nervous system would lead to loss of voluntary muscle control, as the peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the muscles. Impaired vision and dementia are more likely to be caused by diseases affecting the central nervous system, while difficulty with memory recall may be caused by a variety of neurological conditions, not necessarily specific to the peripheral nervous system.
