Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Black cohosh is typically used for menopausal symptoms and does not have a known effect on walking distance in peripheral arterial disease.

B. Echinacea is primarily used to boost the immune system and treat colds, not for vascular conditions.

C. Saw palmetto is commonly used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and does not have evidence supporting its use for peripheral arterial disease.

D. Ginkgo biloba has been shown to improve blood flow and may help increase pain-free walking distance in clients with peripheral arterial disease by enhancing peripheral circulation.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

B. This statement accurately reflects the function of the descending tracts, which carry motor signals from the CNS to the muscles, facilitating voluntary movement.

C. Sensory receptors are located in various tissues throughout the body, including the skin and muscles, but not exclusively in the muscles.

D. Motor neurons are located in the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system, not in the dermal layer of the skin, where sensory receptors reside.
