Answer 1

The correct option is A Involuntary actions

• The nervous system comprises two parts, namely the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerve networks).
• The peripheral nervous system is divided into two parts, the somatic nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system.
• Sensory nerves transmit messages to and from the sense organs.
• The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions such as heartbeat, respiration, digestion, and blood pressure.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Involuntary actions.'
