Nervous System and Brain Quiz

Which division of the peripheral nervous system controls the body's skeletal muscles?

• Somatic Nervous System

• Endocrine System

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

What is the function of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system?

• Calms the body, conserving its energy

• Arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations

• Controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs

• Controls the body's skeletal muscles
