The somatic system controls voluntary actions. The autonomic controls involuntary actions.

somatic system and autonomic system

The somatic and autonomic. The somatic controls voluntary actions. The autonomic controls involuntary actions.

Somatic system and Autonomic system. Somatic controls volintary, autonomic controls involivtary

The peripheral nervous system is made up of two parts. The first part, the somatic system, controls voluntary actions. It is made up of the cranial and spinal nerves that go from the central nervous system to your skeletal muscles. The next is the autonomic system. It controls the involuntary actions.

The somatic system controls the voluntary actions and the autonomic system controls the involuntary actions.

The Somatic system controls voluntary actions & the Autonomic system controls involuntary actions. They are made up of cranial and spinal nerves that go from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles.

The peripheral nervous systems two major divisions are somatic which controls voluntary actions and autonomic which controls involuntary actions.

Sammy P said...

The two major parts are the Somatic System and Autonomic system. The function of the Somatic system is it controls your voluntary actions. The Autonomic system is it controls involuntary actions.

The peripheral nervous system has two major divisions the somatic system and the autonomic system. The
somatic system controls voluntary actions.
The autonomic system controls involuntary actions such as your heart rate,breathing,digestion,and glandular functions.

1. spinal cord.

2. somatic and autonomic system.

The 2 major parts are the somatic system and autonomic system.The functions of the Somatic controls your voluntary actions. The autonomic controls involuntary muscles.

Their is 2 major divisions of the peripheral nervous system, the Spinal Cord, and the Somatic and Automatic System.

They are called the Spinal Cord and Automatic System and Somatic System.They control your body!

The two major divisions of the peripheral nervous system are somatic which controls voluntary actions and the other division is autonomic which controls involuntary actions.

The spinal cord- it sends the messages to the brain

automatic system- it affects you heart, salivation, and other stuff

somatic system- it affects the control of your muscles

The two major divisions of the peripheral system are 1) Somatic System, and 2) Automatic System.
The Somatic System controls your voluntary actions, and the Automatic System controls your involuntary actions.

somatic system controls voluntary actions. The autonomic system controls involuntary actions such as your heart rate,breathing,digestion,and glandular functions.That is the somatic system and the autonomic system.

The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system..
the peripheral has two major divions the somatic system and the auto system. the automatic controls the involintal actions and somatic system conrol voluntary actions

The nervous system is an organ system containing a network of specialized cells called neurons that coordinate the actions of an animal and transmit signals between different parts of its body. In most animals the nervous system consists of two parts, central and peripheral. The central nervous system of vertebrates (such as humans) contains the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons, clusters of neurons called ganglia, and nerves connecting them to each other and to the central nervous system. These regions are all interconnected by means of complex neural pathways. The enteric nervous system, a subsystem of the peripheral nervous system, has the capacity, even when severed from the rest of the nervous system through its primary connection by the vagus nerve, to function independently in controlling the gastrointestinal system.

Neurons send signals to other cells as electrochemical waves travelling along thin fibers called axons, which cause chemicals called neurotransmitters to be released at junctions called synapses. A cell that receives a synaptic signal may be excited, inhibited, or otherwise modulated. Sensory neurons are activated by physical stimuli impinging on them, and send signals that inform the central nervous system of the state of the body and the external environment. Motor neurons, situated either in the central nervous system or in peripheral ganglia, connect the nervous system to muscles or other effector organs. Central neurons, which in vertebrates greatly outnumber the other types, make all of their input and output connections with other neurons. The interactions of all these types of neurons form neural circuits that generate an organism's perception of the world and determine its behavior. Along with neurons, the nervous system contains other specialized cells called glial cells (or simply glia), which provide structural and metabolic support.

Nervous systems are found in most multicellular animals, but vary greatly in complexity.[1] Sponges have no nervous system, although they have homologs of many genes that play crucial roles in nervous system function, and are capable of several whole-body responses, including a primitive form of locomotion. Placozoans and mesozoans—other simple animals that are not classified as part of the subkingdom Eumetazoa—also have no nervous system. In Radiata (radially symmetric animals such as jellyfish) the nervous system consists of a simple nerve net. Bilateria, which include the great majority of vertebrates and invertebrates, all have a nervous system containing a brain, one central cord (or two running in parallel), and nerves. The size of the bilaterian nervous system ranges from a few hundred cells in the simplest worms, to on the order of 100 billion cells in humans. Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system.

Somatic and Automatic are the two main sections of the of the nervous systems

The two major divisions of the PNS are the somatic and the autonomic. The somatic one controls the voluntary actions, like movement, it is made up of the cranial and spinal nerves that go from the central nervous system to your skeletal muscles. The autonomic part controls involuntary actions like breathing and your heart beat.

Holly J said...

The two major divisions of Peripheral System are the somatic and autonomic systems. The somatic system controls voluntary actions. The autonomic system controls involuntary actions.

Sara H said...

The peripheral nervous system is split into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system regulates body movement through control of voluntary skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system regulates the basic visceral processes needed for the maintenance of normal bodily functions.

Connor Pinkham said...

The somatic system controls the voluntary actions and the autonomic system controls the involuntary actions.
