Answer #1

Answer: (C)  the vestibulocochlear (auditory) nerve supplying your sense of hearing.

Rationale: Efferent is responsible for motor neuron, so option A is correct and also parasympathetic is included in efferent neuron and other name of efferent neuron is somatic nerve.

Hence option B and D are correct.

But vestibulocochlear nerve is the one responsible for the sensory function not for the motor function, which means it is responsible for the afferent pathway. So this statement is not comes under efferent.

55. Choose the false statement: A. When somatic motor nerve fibers innervate skeletal muscle tissues, each nerve cell extends the full distance from the CNS to the effector without synapsing along the way. B. During exercise, blood flow can be adjusted to match the demands of different skeletal muscles; here sympathetic fibers will increase blood flow (vasodilate) in the most active muscles, and parasympathetic fibers reduce flow (vasoconstrict) in less active muscles. C. During periods of stress, the adrenal medulla...
