Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which nervous system carries out the following scenario:Ignoring the sound of an engine while driving.
A
Central Nervous System
B
Peripheral Nervous System
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sympathetic nervous system directs the body’s rapid involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cerebellum. The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain beneath the occipital lobes. It is separated from the cerebrum by the tentorium (fold of dura). The cerebellum fine tunes motor activity or movement, e.g. the fine movements of fingers as they perform surgery or paint a picture.

Detailed explanation-3: -The connection between thalamic structures of the auditory processing system (GB) and the subcortical areas of amygdala, hippocampus and hypothalamus had been hypothesized to act as some kind of quickly reacting “memory chain” establishing and enhancing adverse excitations during noisy sounds (Spreng, 1985).

Detailed explanation-4: -Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors found all over the body towards the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry motor information away from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body in order to initiate an action.
