Card 3 / 22: Visit this site ( http://openstaxcollege.org/l/troublewstairs ) to read about a woman that notices that her daughter is having trouble walking up the stairs. This leads to the discovery of a hereditary condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The electromyography and MRI tests indicated deficiencies in the spinal cord and cerebellum, both of which are responsible for controlling coordinated movements. To what functional division of the nervous system would these structures belong?
Answer:
They are part of the somatic nervous system, which is responsible for voluntary movements such as walking or climbing the stairs.
