b) Collections of neuron cell bodies which are outside of the CNS
c) Nerves which originate from the spinal cord
d) Nerves which originate from the brain
e) Neurons which transmit action potentials from the sensory organs to the CNS
f) Neurons which transmit action potentials from the CNS to the effector organs
g) The system that transmits action potentials from the CNS to the skeletal muscles
h) The system that transmits action potentials from the CNS to the smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands
i) Division of the ANS that generally prepares the body for physical activity
j) Division of the ANS that regulates resting and nutrition related functions such as digestion, defecations and urination
