The answer would be letter b
The right answers are 5 and 6.
The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system <u>(part of the nervous system consisting of nerves and ganglia, and whose essential role is the transmission of information between the central nervous system - brain and spinal cord - and organs)</u>. It intervenes in the voluntary control of movements (or involuntary movements in case of reflexes, but this is different from the involuntary activities) (efferent fibers) and in the perception of external stimuli (afferent fibers).
The somatic nervous system controls the movements of skeletal muscle (which are generally voluntary) and the environmental perception, (think to the arc reflex).
The involuntary activities (proposition 1) mean automatisms like the heartbeat, respiration, secretions of hormones or sweat...
Answer:
The given statement is false.
A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.
The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).
The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.
