Somatic and Autonomic Divisions - MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems

The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (all other nerves). The peripheral nervous system is then divided into the sensory and motor divisions. Then, the motor division is further divided into the somatic and autonomic divisions. The autonomic division is then divided into the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") and sympathetic ("fight or flight") divisions.

The amygdala is responsible for emotional memory and is part of the limbic system, which is located in the temporal lobe.

Efferent neurons carry information from the central nervous system (CNS) to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Afferent neurons carry information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system.

In general, afferet neurons will relay sensory information about the environment (both internal and external), carrying these signals from the periphery to the central nervous system for integration and interpretation in the brain. Efferent neurons, in contrast, will carry motor signals or other internal stimuli to respond to the sensory information provided.
