B) autonomic division system.
C) somatic motor division of the nervous system.
D) peripheral nervous system.
E) visceral nervous system.

Accepted Answer

Afferent and efferent axons together form the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS includes all the nervous system structures and components that are outside of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body, including sensory input and motor output. The autonomic and somatic motor divisions are subdivisions within the PNS, and the visceral nervous system is another name for the autonomic nervous system.
