Which is not an element of the efferent division of the peripheral nervous system? a. parasympathetic neurons b. sympathetic neurons c. somatic motor neurons d. sensory neurons

D. Sensory Neurons

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous systemconsists of all the neurons and ganglia within the body, outside the central nervous system. It is divided into:

Somatic nervous system- it controls the movements of skeletal muscles which means that this nervous system is under the voluntary control Autonomic nervous system- its role is to control involuntary movements of smooth muscles and glands

Somatic system consists of two types of nerves:

sensory or afferent nerves-carry the information from the stimulus detector (receptor) to the central nervous system (CNS)motor nerves (efferent nerves)-carry the information from CNS to the effectors (skeletal muscles).

Autonomic nervous system consists of:

sympathetic nervous systemparasympathetic nervous systementeric nervous system
