Answer:

The part of the nervous system which distributes motor commands to the skeletal muscles is known as Somatic nervous system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Somatic nervous system is the chunk of peripheral nervous system. Major function of the somatic nervous system includes the voluntary movement of the muscles, organs as well as reflex movements. In the process of voluntary movements sensory neurons carry impulses to the brain & spinal cord. The somatic nervous system consists of afferent nerves or sensory nerves, and efferent nerves or motor nerves.
