1) per capita paper consumed is determined by dividing total paper consumped by population

A) Africa ; population is 1136 x 106 and total paper consumed is 8 x 106 x 103 (here 106 is for million and 103 is kg for one metric ton)

=( 8 x 106 x 103 ) /1136 x 106

= 7. 04 kg

= 15. 52 pounds

B) Asia : by using above strategy we get,

= 96. 25 pounds

C) Europe :

= 273. 70 pounds

D) Latin America :

= 96. 29 pounds

E) North America :

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

d. Skeletal muscle

Explanation:

There are two components of efferent nervous system.

Somatic nervous system
Autonomic nervous system

SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:

Somatic nervous is one of the components of efferent/motor nervous system.

It controls voluntary activities. It involves the control of skeletal muscles.

It is composed of the motor neuron and the innervating muscle.

AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:

Autonomic nervous system is the other efferent/motor system of the body. It controls the involuntary activities. It involves the control of cardiac muscle, glands and smooth muscles of the body.

It is composed of 2 neurons; preganglionic and postganglionic neurons.

Autonomic nervous system is further divided into:

Sympathetic nervous system (it is responsible for flight and fight responses)
Parasympathetic Nervous system (it is responsible for rest and digestion)
Enteric division ( controls Gastrointestinal system)
