Answer:
<u>d. Skeletal muscle</u>
Explanation:
There are two components of efferent nervous system.
- <u>Somatic nervous system</u>
- <u>Autonomic nervous system</u>
<u>SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:</u>
Somatic nervous is one of the components of efferent/motor nervous system.
It controls <u>voluntary activities</u>. It involves the <u>control of skeletal muscles</u>.
It is composed of <u>the motor neuron and the innervating muscle</u>.
<u>AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:</u>
Autonomic nervous system is the other efferent/motor system of the body. It controls the <u>involuntary activities</u>. It involves the control of <u>cardiac muscle, glands and smooth muscles</u> of the body.
It is composed of<u> 2 neurons; preganglionic and postganglionic neurons.</u>
Autonomic nervous system is further divided into:
- Sympathetic nervous system (it is responsible for flight and fight responses)
- Parasympathetic Nervous system (it is responsible for rest and digestion)
- Enteric division ( controls Gastrointestinal system)
<u>QUESTION:</u>
<u>d. skeletal muscle</u>
This is the correct answer choice as skeletal muscles are not controlled by autonomic nervous system. They are controlled by somatic nervous system and are under voluntary control.
