The efferent division of the peripheral nervous system innervates?

A muscle or a gland.
Efferent fibers carry information away from the CNS to innervate tissues that perform functions; such as a gland, a smooth muscle, a skeletal muscle, or cardiac muscle.
The antonym to efferent would be afferent.

What nerves innervates the smooth muscle of the digestive viscera?
The somatic nervous system consists of peripheral nerve fibers that send sensory information back to the CNS.
What are the division of nervous?
the central nervous system and the peripheral
Parts of peripheral nervous system?
what the tree main parts ofthe peripheral nervous system are there
What division of the peripheral nervous system does the autonomic nervous system belong?
sensory
What part of the peripheral nervous system carries the sensory and motor information to and from the central nervous system?
You have thousands of nerves that are part of the PNS.Divisions of the peripheral nervous system include the afferent (sensory) division and the efferent (motor) division. The nerves coming from all the senses and the nerves going to glands and muscles are included.The efferent division is divided further into the somatic motor nervous system and thesomatic nervous system which includes all voluntary motor pathways outside the central nervous system.
What are the 2 divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
The sensory division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from sense organs to the central nervous system. The motor division transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.
What is the division of the peripheral nervous system that communicates with smooth muscle?
Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system is part of the motor division of the peripheral nervous system?
It is True
Which nervous system makes up part of the automatic nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system is made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) divisions. The motor division is furthermore split into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. Lastly, the autonomic nervous system is split into the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.
What are the functions of the two divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
How do the nervous and circulatory systems interact?
The brain and spinal cord send messages to the heart and blood vessels via the peripheral nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic nervous system innervates the heart and causes an increases heart rate and force of contraction; it also innervates the blood vessels and can produce either constriction of the blood vessels or relaxation. The parasympathetic nervous system innervates the heart as well, but reduces heart rate and force of contraction. With few exceptions, the parasympathetic nervous system does not innervate the blood vessels. As a consequence of this innervation, the peripheral nervous system regulates heart rate and blood pressure.
Is autonmic nervous system apart of the peripheral or central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.
