The ____ is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls our senses.
A
Systemic
B
Autonomic
C
Somatic
D
Autonomous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of the body movements via the use of skeletal muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic Nervous System This system processes sensory information from external stimuli (e.g. through hearing, sight, and touch) as well as motor information, which then carries signals to and from the CNS. This is so it can interpret sensory information and control voluntary movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to regulating the voluntary movements of the body, the somatic nervous system is also responsible for a specific type of involuntary muscle responses known as reflexes, controlled by a neural pathway known as the reflex arc.

Detailed explanation-5: -The somatic nervous system (SNS), or voluntary nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 1. (Brain) Precentral gyrus: the origin of nerve signals initiating movement.
