Question

cranial nerve ii, the optic nerve sends nerve impulses to the brain carrying information about the things we see. these nerve fibers most likely belong division of the nervous system? a) sensory (afferent) division b) somatic nervous system c) sympathetic division d) parasympathetic division

Explanation:

The sensory (afferent) division of the nervous system is responsible for transmitting sensory information (like visual information in this case) from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The optic nerve, which carries visual information (nerve impulses about the things we see) to the brain, fits the role of the sensory division. The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system that controls voluntary movements. The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are part of the autonomic nervous system which controls involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion etc. Since the optic nerve is carrying sensory (visual) information to the brain, it belongs to the sensory (afferent) division.

Answer:

A. sensory (afferent) division
