Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for coordinating muscles that are not under conscious control, such as smooth muscles and cardiac muscles. A is incorrect because skeletal muscles are not controlled by the autonomic nervous system, but rather by the somatic nervous system. C is incorrect because the autonomic nervous system does not directly control the feelings associated with pain, although it may indirectly affect the perception of pain through its regulation of certain bodily functions (such as heart rate and breathing). D is incorrect because B is the correct answer - the autonomic nervous system does coordinate certain muscles, just not skeletal muscles under conscious control.
