Which of the following systems transmits impulse from CNS to involuntary organs and smooth muscles ?
A
Somatic neural system
B
Sympathetic neural system
C
Parasympathetic neural system
D
Autonomic neural system
Explanation
Somatic neural system and autonomic neural system are two divisions of the peripheral nervous system. Somatic neural system is responsible for the voluntary control of the body. It transmits impulses from the CNS to the skeletal muscles and controls voluntary movements and actions. Autonomic neural system is responsible for involuntary actions of the body. It transmits impulses from CNS to involuntary organs and smooth muscles. It regulates actions like heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination etc.
