Parts of Nervous System. Nervous System: Nervous system is the chief controlling and coordinating system of the body. It controls and regulates all activities of the body, whether voluntary or involuntary, and adjusts the individual (organism) to the given surroundings.
1.Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones. Smooth muscles line up the visceral organs viz. Intestines,blood vessels,pupils etc (therefore also known as visceral muscles.) 2.Skeletal muscles perform voluntary actions. Smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary reflexes and actions.
Striated muscle is further classified as either skeletal or cardiac muscle. Striated muscle is typically subject to conscious control, while smooth muscle is not. Thus, muscle tissue can be described as being one of three different types: 1  Skeletal muscle, striated in structure and under voluntary control, is anchored by tendons (or by aponeuroses at a few places) to bone and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and to maintain posture.
