Question

Please help! I am so confused!
Parkinson's disease prevents the brain from properly sending motor signals to the consciously moved muscles of the body. This disease would therefore inhibit parts of the

A. Autosensory Nervous System
B. Parasympathetic nervous system
C. Peripheral nervous system
D. Autonomic nervous system

Answer 1

Will Fan and Medal!!

Answer 2

which part of the question do u not understand?

Answer 3

I know what motor signals means but I can't figure out how they fit into one of the answer choices.

Answer 4

I know it's not D because D is involuntary and the question asks about consciously controlled muscles.

Answer 5

what does conscious control mean to you? and what about involuntary or voluntary muscle control?

Answer 6

Concious control means voluntarily moving your legs to walk. Involuntary is the movement required to keep your heart beating and your blood flowing.

Answer 7

exactly

Answer 8

When we say muscle movement
is it sensory or motor action?

Answer 9

It's motor action. Parasympathetic is part of the autonomic system which we ruled out so that's not it right?

Answer 10

A. Autosensory Nervous System
B. Parasympathetic nervous system
C. Peripheral nervous system
D. Autonomic nervous system

out of these options
there is one that doesnt even exist
can you tell which is it?

Answer 11

I'm pretty sure there is. It such thing as an auto sensory nervous system.

Answer 12

*There is no such thing

Answer 13

bingo

Answer 14

and as u said parasympathetic system is part of autonomic system

Answer 15

and autonomic definitely has nothing to do with voluntary movement, does it?

Answer 16

no because it is not under our concious control

Answer 17

So the answer would be peripheral because that is the only choice that includes voluntary actions. Correct?
