Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Giovanni sustained an injury to both his brain and spinal cord, his parents should seek a specialist who deals with the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. A peripheral nervous system specialist (choice A) deals with nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, an autonomic system specialist (choice C) deals with the involuntary nervous system and its control over organs, and a sympathetic system specialist (choice D) deals specifically with the sympathetic nervous system, which is a part of the autonomic nervous system. None of these specialists will be able to provide the expertise required for Giovanni's injury.
