Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatic sensory fibers carry information from the skin, joints, and skeletal muscles to the central nervous system. Motor fibers carry information from the central nervous system to muscles and glands. Visceral sensory fibers carry information from internal organs to the central nervous system. Interneurons (association neurons) connect sensory and motor neurons in the central nervous system. Parasympathetic fibers are part of the autonomic nervous system and control rest and digestion.
