A)Through direct connections based on a one nerve-one function process
B)Primarily through hormonal action
C)Through a system of neuronal links known as connectors
D)Through pathways that travel through white matter of the brainstem and spinal cord to connect various CNS regions with peripheral nerves
E)Through a network of fibrous interconnections between each organ and a specific target within the CNS

Accepted Answer

The CNS communicates with the rest of the body through pathways that travel through white matter of the brainstem and spinal cord to connect various CNS regions with peripheral nerves. These pathways allow for both sensory and motor information to be transmitted between the CNS and other parts of the body.
