Answer:
D. Sensory Neurons
Explanation:
Peripheral nervous systemconsists of all the neurons and ganglia within the body, outside the central nervous system. It is divided into:
- Somatic nervous system- it controls the movements of skeletal muscles which means that this nervous system is under the voluntary control
- Autonomic nervous system- its role is to control involuntary movements of smooth muscles and glands
Somatic system consists of two types of nerves:
- sensory or afferent nerves-carry the information from the stimulus detector (receptor) to the central nervous system (CNS)
- motor nerves (efferent nerves)-carry the information from CNS to the effectors (skeletal muscles).
Autonomic nervous system consists of:
- sympathetic nervous system
- parasympathetic nervous system
- enteric nervous system
