Premium Muscle Blood Nervous system
peripheral nervous system is divided into two major parts‚ somatic and autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is made up of nerves that connects to voluntary skeletal muscles and to sensory receptors. Theses nerves cars information using the skin‚ muscles and joint to pass on to the central nervous
