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: -Answer and Explanation: The primary organs controlled by the somatic nervous system are the skeletal muscles. The somatic nervous system functions to control voluntary movements, and most voluntary movements are the result of the contraction of skeletal muscles.

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: -Skeletal muscle: Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles, meaning you control how and when they move and work. Nerves in your somatic nervous system send signals to make them function.

Detailed explanation-5: -Movement control: The somatic nervous system plays a vital role in initiating and controlling the movements of your body. This system is responsible for nearly all voluntary muscle movements. Sensory input: The somatic system is also responsible for processing sensory information that arrives via external stimuli.
