Question

The afferent and efferent axons together form the

A. central nervous system.

B. autonomic division system.

C. somatic motor division of the nervous system.

D. peripheral nervous system.

E. visceral nervous system.

Answer 1

The afferent and efferent axons form the somatic motor division of the nervous system, responsible for voluntary movements and the conscious perception of sensory information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The afferent and efferent axons together form the somatic motor division of the nervous system.

Afferent axons carry sensory information from the periphery (such as the skin) to the central nervous system (CNS), while efferent axons carry motor instructions from the CNS to the muscles.

The somatic motor division is responsible for voluntary movements and the conscious perception of sensory information.
