Question

The _____ is the part of the peripheral nervous system that brings sensory information to the central nervous system and transmits commands to the muscles.

Answer 1

Answer:

The somatic nervous system.

Explanation:

The nerves which are present outside the central nervous system comprises the peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system is divided into two types: the somatic system which controls the voluntary actions through skeletal muscles and the autonomic system which controls the automatic responses of the human body.

The somatic neurons send the signals from the receptors to the CNS through the sensory nerves and the motor neurons send the signals from the CNS to the muscles.

Thus, somatic nervous system is correct.
