Question

which of the following is the most likely to occur if the bodys peripheral nervous system becomes nonfunctional? (1 point) the brain would strop creating messages for the body. the brain would create messages, but our bodies would never receive them. the parasympathetic system would accommodate the peripheral system. our bodies would be in a constant state of arousal.

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system (CNS, which includes the brain) and the rest of the body. If the PNS becomes non - functional, the brain (part of the CNS) can still generate messages (as its function is not directly affected by PNS non - functionality in terms of message creation). However, since the PNS is the pathway for these messages to reach the body (such as muscles, organs etc.), the body would not receive the messages from the brain.
The parasympathetic system is a part of the autonomic nervous system (which is a part of the PNS), so it cannot "accommodate" the entire PNS. And a constant state of arousal is more related to the sympathetic nervous system (also part of the autonomic nervous system) and not a direct consequence of PNS non - functionality. The brain's ability to create messages is not dependent on the PNS.

Answer:

The brain would create messages, but our bodies would never receive them.
