Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The afferent division is responsible for transmitting sensory information from receptors throughout the body to the central nervous system (CNS), allowing the body to detect changes in the environment or to receive input about its internal state. It is also known as the sensory division, hence the correct answer is E. The motor division, on the other hand, is responsible for transmitting signals from the CNS to muscles or glands in order to produce a response. The cranial and ganglial divisions are not commonly used terms in the context of the nervous system.
