Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Regulate response of skeletal muscles
Concept:

The peripheral nervous system is split into somatic (voluntary) and autonomic (involuntary) divisions based on the target effector.

Solution:

  • The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) innervates involuntary effectors: cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands.


  • Skeletal muscles are strictly voluntary and are innervated entirely by the Somatic Nervous System. Therefore, regulating skeletal muscles is NOT a feature of the ANS.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Options A, B, and D describe the primary, involuntary targets of the autonomic nerves.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
