Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central nervous system (CNS) is the structural nervous system subdivision that consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Answer: C 
 The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the functional nervous system subdivision that consists of all the nervous tissue outside of the central nervous system (CNS), including sensory receptors, nerves, ganglia, and plexuses.

Answer: D 
 The sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for conveying information towards the central nervous system (CNS) from sensory receptors in the body.

Answer: B 
 The motor (efferent) division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for conveying motor commands away from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscles and glands.

Answer: E 
 The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the functional nervous system subdivision that regulates involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate, and is typically divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic subdivisions.
