Chapter 12, Problem 3RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The structure that is the somatic part of the body.
Introduction:
PNS (peripheral nervous system) consists of neurons that perform motor and sensory functions. The motor division of PNS innervates various organs, glands, muscles, and stimulate them to perform their functions. Depending on the region of the body controlled, the PNS is divided into somatic and visceral nervous system.
