Functional Divisions of the Nervous System 1 Nervous System receives sensory information from receptors in the PNS and transmits it to the CNS further divided into the 1 Sensory Voluntary Nervous System Receives sensory information from the skin fascia joints skeletal muscles and special senses a b touch pressure pain vibration and proprioception 2 Involuntary Sensory Nervous System receives sensory information impulses from viscera 2 Nervous System transmits information from the CNS to the rest of the body i e muscles glands sends motor information to effectors Further divided into 2 divisions a nervous system impulses from the CNS that causes contraction of 1 Motor Nervous System skeletal muscle b Innervates Skeletal Muscle 2 motor nervous System a nervous system b Innervates and regulates cardiac muscle smooth muscle glands Nervous System Organization Nervous System Sensory or Afferent Division Contains receptors Transmits information from receptors to the CNS Visceral Sensory Receives Sensory Information from viscera Somatic Sensory Receives Sensory Information from skin fascia joints skeletal muscles special senses Motor or Efferent Division Transmits information from the CNS to the rest of the body Send motor information to effectors Somatic Sensory Voluntary nervous system innervates skeletal muscle Visceral Sensory Involuntary nervous system innervates cardiac muscle smooth muscle and glands
