Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary responses such as the ones April is experiencing, such as increased heart rate and sweating, in response to her crush being present. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary actions and movements, while the spinal reflex system controls involuntary reflexes such as pulling away from a flame or tapping the knee to test reflexes. The skeletal nervous system does not exist.
