1.) The somatic and autonomic nervous systems make up the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is in charge of involuntary-subconscious activities. The sympathetic nervous system is in charge of those activities during stressful conditions, while the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge of those activities during non-stressful conditions. 2.) All nerve impulses associated with reflexes must travel through the spinal cord to the brain and back.
Which division of the nervous system produces the startle response? a. Parasympathetic b. Central c. Somatic d. Sympathetic e. Autonomic
