Afferent/ Efferent neurons

I had this question that said "Motor neurons are characterized by their:" and the answer is parasympathetic activity. Does this mean that sensory neurons are characterized by their sympathetic activity or is this not the right way to think about it. I also remember there bring a between parasympathetic and sympathetic activity when it comes to these aff/eff neurons. Doesn't one of them only have a motor function while the other one functions in both sensory and motor info. Definitely not sure on this but it sounds familiar...

If someone could break this down i'd appreciate it.

that quote is really incomplete and doesn't make sense. psym and symp system are intertwined with the sensory and motor system. symp and psym has both sensory and motor depending on where and which nerve, there is no golden rule for this. u just need to understand the effect of psym vs symp. for example look at your hand it has both sensory and motor... what happens when u get nervous -> sym works and u sweat. what happens when u relaxed? less blood goes to there there due to inactivation of the sym.

I'm assuming this is a kaplan question.

Out of the rest of the answer choices, this is the only one that correlates to motor neurons. They are not solely located in the parasymp system, they are also associated with the symp system. (if thats what you were wondering)

true that! what a garbage question. i think kaplan is also famous for assimilating kerb cycle and ETC into oxidative phosphorylation lol... oh kaplan

don't use the old kaplan stuff. i have them too theres so many mistakes u'll learn the wrong things without realizing them. their new stuff is more sane
