The somatic system contains nerves that control ____
A
skeletal muscles
B
internal organs, joints, and glands
C
skeletal muscles, skin, and glands
D
smooth muscles, cardiac muscles and glands
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: -Your somatic nervous system allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body. It also feeds information from four of your senses-smell, sound, taste and touch-into your brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system consists of sensory nerves carrying afferent nerve fibers, which relay sensation from the body to the central nervous system (CNS), and motor nerves carrying efferent nerve fibers, which relay motor commands from the CNS to stimulate muscle contraction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The somatic nervous system, also called the somatomotor or somatic efferent nervous system, supplies motor impulses to the skeletal muscles. Because these nerves permit conscious control of the skeletal muscles, it is sometimes called the voluntary nervous system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Motor nerve fibers carry commands from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body, particularly to skeletal muscles.
