Summary Introduction
To review:
The division of the nervous system handling the post-dinner activities of body and the different organs involved and the innervations of each organ. Also, give the effects of the nervous system on these organ's functions.
Introduction:
After eating a large amount of food from “all-you-can-eat” buffet, a person reclines on the couch in order to watch television. The body is in resting state after eating quite a lot of food. The food needs to be digested in order to avoid indigestion and the formation of gas. Parasympathetic responses support body functions that conserve and restore body energy during times of rest and recovery.

The buzzing of the alarm clock woke Carrie. She stretched, yawned, and started to salivate as she smelled the brewing coffee. She could feel her stomach rumble. List the divisions of the nervous system that are involved in each of these actions.
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/troublewstairs) to read about a woman that notices that her daughter is having trouble walking up the stairs. This leads to the discovery of a hereditary condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The electromyography and MRI tests indicated deficiencies in the spinal cord and cerebellum, both of which are responsible for controlling coordinated movements. To what functional division of the nervous system would these structures belong?
We regularly make conscious decisions to make specific muscular movements. For example,
when using the touch interface of your phone, you make a conscious effort to scroll up and down
the screen using your finger.
In contrast, there are many muscular movements that cannot be controlled voluntarily. For
example, you cannot make your heart stop by thinking about it.
Which of the following statements correctly identifies the parts of the nervous system that are
involved in voluntary and involuntary actions, respectively?
Select one:
a. Motor neurons of the somatic nervous system and motor neurons of the autonomic nervous
system
b. Motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system and sensory neurons of the somatic
nervous system
c. Sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system and sensory neurons of the autonomic
nervous system
d. Sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system and motor neurons of the autonomic
nervous system
