Respuesta :

Answer:

B. innervation of skeletal muscle

Explanation:

Innervation of skeletal muscle  is not a function of the autonomic nervous system.

Answer:

Option B. innervation of skeletal muscle

Explanation:

The nervous system is made up of Central Nervous System which constitutes the brain and spinal cord and the Peripheral Nervous System.

  • The peripheral nervous system is made up of:
  1. Somatic Nervous system: It controls the voluntary body movements and reflexes of the body such as sitting, standing, talking, running, etc.
  2. Autonomic Nervous system: It controls the involuntary physiological processes of the body such as movement of cardiac muscles, respiration, heart rate, etc.
  • The innervation of skeletal muscle is a voluntary body movement and therefore controlled and coordinated by the Somatic Nervous System.
  • All other options are involuntary processes and therefore controlled by the autonomous nervous system.
