Brain
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM - PNS Nerve fibers that carry information between CNS and other parts of body at periphery. I. Afferent Division (Sensory) –carry information to CNS II. Efferent Division (Motor) – which carry information from CNS to muscle and glands. Efferent (Motor) division of PNS further divide into Somatic Nervous System it is under our voluntary control E.g. Nerve fibers of motor neuron that supply skeletal ______.
