Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following accurately describes the main pathways of the autonomic nervous system. Is it answer choice. A, the sensory and motor pathways. Answer choice. B, the sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways, answer choice, C the sympathetic and motor pathways or answer choice. D the motor and parasympathetic pathways. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices accurately describes the main pathways of the autonomic nervous system. So in order to figure out which of the following are the correct main pathways of the autonomic nervous system, we have to call what we have learned about the autonomic nervous system or the A and S. And we know that the autonomic nervous system has two distinct pathways starting off with the first pathway. We know that we have the sympathetic pathway, which the sympathetic pathway deals with our fight or light response. And on the other hand, we have the era sympathetic pathway, which is the other pathway of the autonomic nervous system. And the parasympathetic pathway deals with our rest and digest responses. So that means that the two main pathways of the autonomic nervous system or the A N S are the sympathetic and the parasympathetic pathways. Which means that answer choice B is the correct answer since it is the answer choice that accurately describes those two main pathways of the autonomic nervous system. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
