Central
The peripheral nervous system carries the response to the rest of the body. It consists of nerves that extend outside of the brain and spinal cord to communicate information to and from the rest of the body.
The nervous system carries information from the glands and organs to the brain. This communication is often facilitated by the peripheral nervous system, which includes sensory nerves that send signals to the brain for interpretation and response.
The automatic nervous system triggers the "fight or flight" response in the nervous system while the peripheral nervous system carries information to and from the central nervous system.
It is the central nervous system
The sympathetic nervous system initiates the "fight or flight" response in the body. This response prepares the body to deal with perceived threats or stressors by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to muscles, and dilating the pupils.
No, the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" functions and promotes relaxation. The stress response is typically initiated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
False. A sensory neuron carries stimuli from the peripheral nervous system (such as skin or organs) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing. Effector neurons are responsible for carrying signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, or other organs to produce a response to the stimulus.
