What is controlled by the somatic division of the PNS?
Somatic nervous system
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
What type of neurons form the afferent division of the PNS?
unipolar
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.
Which nervous system division are neurolemmocytes located?
Shwann Cells-PNS Oligodendrocytes-CNS Both form the neurolemma
The motor neurons of the efferent division of the pns carry?
They carry instructions from the CNS to muscles, glands, and adipose tissue.
What is controlled by the somatic division of the PNS?
Somatic nervous system
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
What division carries motor commands to muscles and glands?
efferent division
What type of neurons form the afferent division of the PNS?
unipolar
Name the second general division of the human nervous system?
PNS
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 two divisions of the PNS?
The PNS can be split into the somatic (voluntary) nervous system and the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The autonomic system can be further categorized into the sympathetic division and parasympathetic division.
What neurons form the afferent division of the PNS?
For CH 12 of A&P the correct answer is: Sensory Neurons.
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.
A combination of motor and sensory are called what?
motor and sensory innervation pertains to the peripheral nervous system PNS, where you find both efferent and afferent impulses. CNS pertains to sensory only, afferent.
Where does the efferent pathways of the parasympathetic division originate from as they leave the cns?
They originate from the cranial and sacral regions of the CNS
