Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements, including the movement of skeletal muscles involved in running to catch a bus. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which may cause an increase in heart rate and sweating, but does not directly control skeletal muscle movement. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, but does not directly control muscle movement. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for "rest and digest" functions and does not play a direct role in skeletal muscle movement.
