Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct pathway is for unconscious afferents to go to the central nervous system and then to autonomic efferents. This is because unconscious processes, such as reflexes, do not involve conscious awareness, and therefore do not require conscious afferents or voluntary efferents. Additionally, autonomic efferents control involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate and digestion, which are not under conscious control.
