transmits somatosensory information to
the central nervous system.

Question 3

Autonomic nervous system

Answer 3

The
portion of the peripheral nervous system

Answer 7

The efferent
neuron of the autonomic nervous system

spinal gray matter and whose terminal
buttons synapse upon postganglionic
neurons in the autonomic ganglia.

Question 8

Postganglionic neuron
