A)The SNS is under voluntary control.
B)The SNS uses motor and sensory neurons.
C)The SNS innervates skeletal muscle fibers.
D)The SNS is part of both the CNS and the PNS.
E)The SNS is activated by visceral sensory neurons.

The SNS is not activated by visceral sensory neurons, but rather by sensory neurons that monitor the external environment and transmit information to the CNS for processing and response. Visceral sensory neurons are part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion.
