Answer: SOMATIC nervous system.

SNS, Somatic nervous system or voluntary nervous system is a part of the nervous system which is not the central nervous system that is responsible for intentional control of body movement through the voluntary muscle of vertebrates, which is striated and anchored by tendons to bone.

In essence, turning the pages of a book, using your pen to take notes, or raising your hand are all possible due to the SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Answer: Somatic nervous system

Explanation: The function of the somatic nervous system as a part of peripheral nervous system, is a regulating of the voluntary movement of parts of the body or the whole body. Also known as the voluntary nervous system, it regulates movements that are not independent of free will, and this somatic nervous system (SNS) has sensory and motor nerves that play a role in the management of voluntary movements. This system manages the movements through skeletal muscles through which sensory stimuli pass, and regulate movements of body parts and organs. Of course the impulses for movement that pass through the nerves (muscles) come from both the brain and the spinal cord.
