What is the primary function of neurons in the motor system?
What is the primary function of neurons in the motor system?
- To regulate voluntary movement by transmitting signals from the CNS to muscle fibers (correct)
- To produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions
- To provide structural support to the nervous system
- To transmit sensory information from the periphery to the CNS
What is the key distinction between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)?
What is the key distinction between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)?
- The ANS regulates involuntary functions, such as heart rate and digestion, while the PNS regulates sensory information (correct)
- The ANS is responsible for voluntary movements, while the PNS is responsible for involuntary functions
- The ANS is a part of the central nervous system, while the PNS is a part of the peripheral nervous system
- The ANS is responsible for transmitting sensory information, while the PNS is responsible for motor functions
