The division of the nervous system that allows the brain and the spinal cord to communicate with the sensory systems of the eyes, ears, skin, and mouth, and allows the brain and spinal cord to control the muscles and glands of the body is called the ________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

peripheral nervous system

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system includes all nervous tissue except form the central nervous system. The afferent division of this nervous system delivers the sensory information from the sensory receptors to the central nervous system. In this way, the information from the somatic and special sensory organs such as the nose, tongue, eyes, and ears is delivered to the central nervous system.  

The motor division of the peripheral nervous system includes somatic and autonomic divisions. The somatic division is the motor division that conveys output from the CNS to skeletal muscles while the autonomic division sends the information from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
