Q

what is the a afferent nervous system?

A

Sensory division that carry signals from receptors to the central nervous system. The somatic sensory division carry signals from receptors in the skin, muscles, bones and joints. the visceral sensory division carry signals, mainly from the viscera of the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
