• motor/sensory neurons

• only brain

Lily and Charlotte are studying for their biology exam. They are discussing the two major branches of the nervous system. Hannah, who is also studying with them, suggests that they are...

• central and peripheral

• peripheral and motor

Abigail, Grace, and Daniel are studying biology. They are discussing the function of the nervous system.

Samuel is learning about the human body in his biology class. His teacher, Olivia, explains that the somatic nervous system's job is to control breathing and the respiratory system. Is this statement true or false?

• True
