scilearner Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 In the sympathetic nervous system, is it the dorsal (sensory,afferent) roots of sympathetic nerves that give the sensory information to the CNS about sympathetic things or do they only do the action? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! The sympathetic nervous system only performs the actions. The sensory information is interpreted by the brain, which is sent to the parasympathetic and sypathetic nervous systems to perform their specific actions. The systems themselves cannot recieve sensory information directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
