Question

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

Option C. Peripheral nervous system

Step-by-step explanation:

The Parkinson's disease is a disorder that directly affects the nerve cells of the body. The neurons that produces dopamine dies in this disorder that produces symptoms like slowness, balancing problem and stiffness.

The Peripheral nervous system connects the CNS to body limbs and organs. The information is transferred from the brain and spinal cord to other body parts that helps to react with external stimulus.

In Parkinson's disease, the transfer of motor signals to muscles is prevented by inhibiting parts of peripheral nervous system. Thus, option C is correct.
