Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peripheral nerve fibers that measure the degree of stretch in the biceps brachii muscle and its tendons are classified as general somatic sensory because they sense and transmit information about the body's position and movements. General somatic motor nerves control the voluntary movements of skeletal muscles. Special visceral sensory nerves transmit taste and olfactory information. General visceral motor nerves control the involuntary movements of smooth and cardiac muscles and glands.
