Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eye is part of the peripheral nervous system because it receives sensory input and transmits it to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing and interpretation. The autonomic and sympathetic nervous systems are both subdivisions of the peripheral nervous system, but they specifically control involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion, which are not directly related to vision. The central nervous system includes only the brain and spinal cord, and does not include sensory organs such as the eye.
