The ________ Nervous System Carries Impulses to Skeletal Muscles

Question

The ________ nervous system carries impulses to skeletal muscles.
A) somatic
B) sympathetic
C) parasympathetic
D) afferent
E) autonomic

Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system is responsible for carrying sensory and motor information to and from the skeletal muscles. This system allows voluntary control over muscle movement. The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are both part of the autonomic nervous system, which control involuntary responses like heart rate and digestion. Afferent nerves carry sensory information to the central nervous system.
