Question
Answer
show Central Nervous System  
🗑
show Peripheral Nervous System  
🗑
Consists of sensory neurons that convey information from receptors in the periphery of the body to brain and spinal cord.   show
🗑
show Efferent Peripheral System  
🗑
Conducts impulses from the brain and spinal cord to skeletal muscle, causing us to react to changes in environment.   show
🗑
Conducts impulses from the brain and spinal cord to smooth muscle tissue, to cardiac muscle tissue, and to glands.   show
🗑
show Sypathetic division  
🗑
show Parasympathetic division
