Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a function of the motor division of the peripheral nervous system?

Controlling voluntary movements

Transmitting impulses to skeletal muscles

Regulating involuntary activities of smooth muscles

Conducting sensory information to the central nervous system

Previous problemNext problem

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the motor division of the peripheral nervous system, which is primarily responsible for transmitting motor commands from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.

Recognize that the motor division is divided into two main parts: the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary movements by transmitting impulses to skeletal muscles, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary activities of smooth muscles and glands.

Identify that controlling voluntary movements and transmitting impulses to skeletal muscles are functions of the somatic nervous system, a part of the motor division.

Acknowledge that regulating involuntary activities of smooth muscles is a function of the autonomic nervous system, another part of the motor division.

Determine that conducting sensory information to the central nervous system is not a function of the motor division; instead, it is a function of the sensory division of the peripheral nervous system.
