Answer:

Somatic nervous system

Step-by-step explanation:

The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system (nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord) involved in the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. The somatic nervous system has afferent and efferent nerves: afferent nerves transport signals from the body to the central nervous system, while efferent nerves do the opposite, transport information from the CNS to the rest of body, e.g. skeletal muscles.
