    A.

    The nervous system has two major anatomical subdivisions, each with specialized
    functions.

    1. This division carries signals to the skeletal muscles and is under voluntary control:
    a. Somatic motor division
    b. Somatic sensory division
    c. Autonomic motor division
    d. Autonomic sensory division

    2. This system consists of the brain and spinal cord.


    a. Central nervous system
    b. Peripheral nervous system

    3. This division carries messages to the brain from the sensory organs:
    a. Somatic motor division
    b. Somatic sensory division
    c. Autonomic motor division
    d. Autonomic sensory division

    4. The visceral motor division is also called the


    a. Peripheral
    b. Somatic
    c. Autonomic
    d. Ganglionic

    5. This division arouses the body for action:


    a. Parasympathetic
    b. Sympathetic
    c. Somatic

    6. This system consists of neuron, nerves, ganglia, and plexuses:


    a. Central nervous system
    b. Peripheral nervous system

    7. This division calms the body and slows the heartbeat:


    a. Parasympathetic
    b. Sympathetic
    c. Somatic

    8. This division has efferent nerves to carry messages from the brain to muscles and
    organs:
    a. Motor
    b. Sensory
