Concept: This question tests the understanding of the divisions of the peripheral nervous system and their respective target organs.

Why (A) is correct: The somatic neural system (SNS) is responsible for transmitting impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles. This control is voluntary, meaning we consciously decide to move these muscles. It mediates voluntary responses.

Why other options are wrong:

• (B) involuntary organs: Involuntary organs (like the heart, lungs, digestive tract) are controlled by the autonomic neural system (ANS), not the somatic system.
• (C) smooth muscles: Smooth muscles (found in the walls of internal organs) are also controlled by the autonomic neural system, which regulates involuntary actions.
• (D) All of these: Since options B and C are incorrect, this option is also incorrect.

Common Mistake: Students often confuse the functions of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, especially regarding voluntary vs. involuntary control.

NEET Tip: Remember 'S' for Somatic and 'S' for Skeletal muscles (Voluntary control). 'A' for Autonomic and 'A' for Automatic (Involuntary control of smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands).

Correct Answer: (A)
