1. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
2. The peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves distal to the crainum and vertebral column.
3. Sensory signals from the skin, skeletal muscles, and joints are transmitted by the efferent branch of the peripheral nervous system.
4. Effector signals to skeletal muscles are transmitted by the efferent branch of the peripheral nervous system using visceral sensory neurons.
5. Voluntary responses are transmitted by what type of neuron?
6. Integration Function involves all of the following EXCEPT:
7. The neuro-muscular junction is where a motor neuron connects with a muscle fiber to initiate muscle contraction.
