Nerve impulses leading to the skeletal muscle carry information to direct movement. The nerve fibers sending these signals will most likely belong to which division of the nervous system?
A) sensory (afferent) division
B) somatic nervous system
C) sympathetic division
D) parasympathetic division

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system is responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscles, so nerve impulses leading to skeletal muscle movement would be carried by nerve fibers from this division of the nervous system. The sensory division (A) is responsible for carrying sensory information to the central nervous system, while the sympathetic (C) and parasympathetic (D) divisions are responsible for involuntary control of organ systems.
