The afferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry sensory signals from the skin, skeletal muscles, joints, ears, eyes, tongue, etc. to the central nervous system, while the efferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry motor signals from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles.

What is controlled by the somatic division of the PNS?

The somatic division of the peripheral nervous system controls voluntary movements, such as skeletal muscle contractions. It also transmits sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints to the central nervous system for processing.


What are the two divisions of the PNS?

The PNS can be split into the somatic (voluntary) nervous system and the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The autonomic system can be further categorized into the sympathetic division and parasympathetic division.


What part of the PNS is voluntary?

The somatic nervous system.


What does the efferent division of the PNS do?

The efferent division of the PNS carries signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to control responses. It consists of the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary movements, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion.


Voluntary muscles are controlled by which nervous system?

Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?

No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System


Involuntary muscle is controlled by which organ?

All muscle types are controlled by the nervous system (CNS and/or the PNS).


Which pns systems controls skeletal muscles?

The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscles. It is responsible for voluntary movement and receives motor information from the brain to stimulate muscle contraction.
