Anatomy of Cranial Nerves Flashcards

1
Q

PNS division

A

-divided functionally into afferent sensory (impulses toward brain) and efferent motor (impulses away from brain)
- both sensory and motor are then divided into somatic (voluntary functions related to outside world) and visceral (involuntary functions related to internal viscera)
