Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The motor division of the peripheral nervous system sends motor commands to the somatic and autonomic divisions, which control voluntary movements and involuntary processes such as heart rate and digestion. The sensory division, on the other hand, receives signals from sensory receptors and relays the information to the central nervous system for processing. Therefore, the motor division does not send information to the sensory division. The parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions are subdivisions of the autonomic division and are both targeted by the motor division.
