Wendy Wilkinson · Answer 1

The correct answer is:

D. Spinal nerves have mixed motor and sensory function.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is the connection structure encouraged of the coordination of reflexes processes that control sensory and motor activities. There are four regions encouraged of controlling human's brain: the cerebrum, the diencephalon, the brain stem and the cerebellum. In order to have neural activity in the brain a human needs to have the homeostasis process in order to do so using the connection of the spinal nerves.

D. Spinal nerves have mixed motor and sensory function.

Explanation:

spinal's nerves are mixed nerves, which means that they carry sensory and motor information. They carry sensory information to the central nervous system to give a motor answer that will travel through the spinal nerves to specific muscles. The White matter, which is peripheral in the spinal cord, contains axons while the gray matter, which is central in the spinal cord, contains cell bodies.
