Is a sensory nerve the same thing as an efferent nerve?

No, a sensory nerve is not the same as an efferent nerve. Sensory nerves, also known as afferent nerves, transmit sensory information from receptors in the body to the central nervous system. In contrast, efferent nerves carry motor signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, facilitating movement and responses. Thus, they serve different functions in the nervous system.

Is the sympathetic nervous system same as central nervous system?

Autonomic nervous system is that part of the nervous system that controls the body function that are not consciously controlled by the human brain like breathing, heartbeat, and digestive processes. Autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It works along with the somatic nervous system to regulate the body functions.


How does the somatic nervous system differ from the autonomic nervous system?

The somatic nervous system controls the voluntary movement of skeletal muscles, such as when you move your arm. The autonomic nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of internal organs and glands. The beating of your heart is controlled by this system. The autonomic nervous system is further broken up into two parts: the sympathetic, which controls arousal (think fight-or-flight), and the parasympathetic, which controls calming (think rest and digest).

How the circulatory system works with the nervous system?

The sinoatrial (SA) node of the heart serves as its pacemaker, and receives nerve input from the nervous system in order to initiate the "pumping" activity that controls the circulatory system. In addition, muscles of blood vessels can expand and contract from signals from the autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) nervous system in order to control blood pressure.
