Which system includes nerves that manage voluntary control over muscles?

The correct answer is the Somatic Nervous System, which is responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscles. This system facilitates the transmission of signals from the central nervous system to the muscles, allowing individuals to consciously control movements such as walking, picking up objects, and other intentional physical actions. It plays a crucial role in everyday activities that require motor function and coordination.

In contrast, the Autonomic Nervous System manages involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate and digestion, and operates without conscious control. The Sympathetic Nervous System is a component of the autonomic system that prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses, while the Peripheral Nervous System encompasses all the nerves outside the central nervous system, including both somatic and autonomic pathways. However, the specific aspect of voluntary muscle control is the defining feature of the Somatic Nervous System.
