Question

The nervous system and the muscle system respond to stimuli to produce motion. The _________ movements of muscles are mostly voluntary. Involuntary movements occur in these muscles when the nerve impulse passes from a sensory neuron to a motor neuron via an interneuron in the __________.
Options for first are: cardiac, skeletal, smooth.
Options for the second are: brain, muscle tissue, spinal cord.

Answer 1

The skeletal movements of muscles are mostly voluntary. That is why skeletal muscle is also called voluntary muscle. Their action is normally controlled by an individual's will.

Involuntary movements occur in these muscles when the nerve impulse passes from a sensory neuron to a motor neuron via an interneuron in the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure responsible for carrying incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

Answer 2

1. Skeletal
2. Spinal cord
