myelin sheath
B
somatic nervous system
C
autonomic nervous system
D
synapse
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 that stretches throughout nearly every part of your body. The nerves in this system deliver information from your senses to your brain. They also carry commands from your brain to your muscles so you can move around.
