Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system consists of both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerves [1].
Detailed explanation-2: -The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the neurons and parts of neurons found outside of the CNS, includes sensory neurons and motor neurons. Sensory neurons bring signals into the CNS, and motor neurons carry signals out of the CNS.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The names of the two motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are: Preganglionic neuron which is found in the spinal cord or brain stem, Postganglionic neuron which is found in structures called ganglia.
Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system. Motor neurons are the neurons that synapse with our muscles at the neuromuscular junction. These neurons directly control our muscle contraction. The central nervous system are all of the neurons in the brain and the spinal cord.
