Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body’s skeletal muscles is the:
A
Somatic Nervous System
B
Autonomic Nervous System
C
Parasympathetic Nervous System
D
Sympathetic Nervous System
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Skeletal muscle contraction is voluntary and under the regulation of the somatic nervous system. Each skeletal muscle cell is innervated by a motoneuron, and each muscle fiber behaves as a single unit. Smooth muscle, on the other hand, is involuntary and under the regulation of the autonomic nervous system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your somatic nervous system is a subdivision of your peripheral nervous system, which is all of your nervous system except your brain and spinal cord. Your somatic nervous system allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Explanation: Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue, which are voluntarily controlled by the somatic nerves, a part of the peripheral nervous tissue.
