What are the two components of the central nervous system?
Brain and spinal cord
What are the two main divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
Somatic and autonomic
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
What is the purpose of the somatic nervous system?
Controls the body’s skeletal muscles
What is the purpose of the autonomic nervous system?
Controls other muscles and glands
The somatic nervous system is involved in sensation and movement - true or false?
True
Is the somatic nervous system voluntary or involuntary?
Voluntary
Where are the neurons of the somatic nervous system located?
Brain stem or the spinal cord
Are the neurons in the somatic nervous system long or short?
Long
What are the two pathways in the somatic nervous system called?
Afferent and efferent
What is the purpose of the afferent pathway in the somatic nervous system?
Carries sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system
What is the purpose of the efferent pathway in the somatic nervous system?
Carries motor information from the central nervous system to the muscles
