A. Somatic motor, autonomic, and basal ganglia
B. Autonomic, somatosensory, and cognitive
C. Limbic, autonomic, and somatosensory
D. Somatic, somatosensory, and autonomic


ANS: D
Rationale: The three systems extend throughout the entire nervous system. are the somatosensory system, conveying information from the skin and musculoskeletal system to the brain; the autonomic system, providing communication between the brain and smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, and glands; and the somatic motor system, transmitting information from the brain to the skeletal muscles. The basal ganglia, cognitive, and limbic systems are located entirely within the brain, and thus do not extend into the spinal and peripheral regions
