Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheral input into the central nervous system can come from a variety of sources, including somatosensory pathways in response to nociceptors (e.g. pain receptors), visceral sensory neurons innervating mucosal surfaces (e.g. in the gut), and afferent neurons in the vagus nerve (which connects to various organs in the body). Therefore, option D, "all of the above," is the correct choice.
