Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system connects nerve fibers to voluntary muscles and provides the brain with feedback about voluntary movement. This includes controlling skeletal muscles and receiving sensory information from the body's surface and joints. It is responsible for conscious movement and sensation.

Option A is incorrect because the connection between the small intestine and pancreas is regulated by the enteric nervous system, not the somatic nervous system.

Option B is incorrect because the lymphatic system is not connected to the somatic nervous system.

Option D is incorrect because the somatic nervous system only controls voluntary muscles, not all internal organs. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary processes in the body.
