Question

multiple choice 2 points

the part of the nervous system composed of the brain and spinal cord is
the central nervous system
responsible for conducting sensory information to skeletal muscles.
the peripheral nervous system
composed of neuroglial cells that are responsible for transmitting signals via the afferent motor pathway.

Explanation:

Identify the anatomical components

Using the Central Nervous System knowledge point

• The brain and spinal cord constitute the primary organs of the central nervous system (CNS).

Evaluate the remaining options

• Sensory information is conducted to the CNS, while motor commands go to skeletal muscles.
• The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.
• Neuroglial cells support neurons, and "afferent motor pathway" is a contradictory term because afferent pathways are sensory.

Answer:

• the central nervous system (Correct answer)
• responsible for conducting sensory information to skeletal muscles.
• the peripheral nervous system
• composed of neuroglial cells that are responsible for transmitting signals via the afferent motor pathway.
