Question

all nervous tissue outside of the central nervous system is called the nervous system. peripheral parasympathetic somatic autonomic afferent check answer

Explanation:

The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS includes all nervous tissue outside the CNS. The parasympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system (which is itself part of the PNS), responsible for "rest - and - digest" functions. The somatic nervous system is part of the PNS that controls voluntary movements. The autonomic nervous system (including sympathetic and parasympathetic) controls involuntary functions. The afferent (sensory) neurons are part of the PNS that carry sensory information to the CNS. Since the question asks for the name of the nervous system that is all nervous tissue outside the CNS, the correct term is peripheral.

peripheral
