Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The motion of Vladimir's fingers on the keyboard is a voluntary action, which is controlled by the motor pathway neurons of the somatic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary actions such as heart rate and digestion, and sensory pathway neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the brain. Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate answer.
