What is the somatic neural system responsible for?
Options
- ATransmitting impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles
- BTransmitting impulses from the CNS to involuntary organs and smooth muscles
- CTransmitting impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS
- DTransmitting impulses from the CNS to peripheral tissues/organs
Correct answer
A. Transmitting impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles
Step-by-step solution
The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and is the site of information processing and control.The afferent nerve fibres transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS.The efferent nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs The somatic neural system relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles. The autonomic neural system transmits impulses from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body. The Visceral nervous system is the part of
