Which statements regarding peripheral nerves are true and which are false? True False Functional rather than structural divisions of the PNS are afferent and efferent Cell bodies of afferent nerve fibers are in the dorsal root ganglia. Cell bodies of efferent nerve fibers are in the dorsal root ganglia. The ANS is part of the SNS. Structural rather than functional divisions of the PNS are afferent and efferent. The SNS contains both sensory and motor fibers. Structural rather than functional divisions of the PNS are SNS and ANS.
