Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions such as the contraction of smooth muscle, which is found in the wall of the bronchioles. Therefore, option B, which mentions autonomic and smooth muscle, is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because skeletal muscle is voluntary and not present in the bronchioles. Option C is incorrect because the somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscle, not smooth muscle. Option D is incorrect because the somatic nervous system only controls voluntary actions, and option E is incorrect because cartilage does not have the ability to contract.
