2 components of Nervous System
Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
These 2 neurons makes up the Peripheral Nervous System.
Afferent/Sensory Neurons and Efferent/Motor Neurons
It is the one that sends impulses to the Central Nervous System (CNS).

It controls fight or flight responses
Sympathetic Nervous System
It regulates rest and digest functions
