Question 14 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

What types of messages are transmitted along autonomic pathways?

Answer
A
information from the senses being directed back to the brain
B
messages from the brain stimulating muscle movement
C
messages that control the glands and organs in the body
D
messages from the spinal cord resulting in muscle reflexes

Explanation

Autonomic pathways regulate involuntary functions by carrying signals that control internal organs and glands, such as heart rate and digestion. Messages that stimulate skeletal muscle movement or produce muscle reflexes travel through somatic pathways, so the correct choice is messages that control the glands and organs in the body.
