Solution

The correct descriptions of the motor pathways within the somatic division of the peripheral nervous system are:

  1. Effectors are skeletal muscles.
  2. Fibers are carried by most cranial and all spinal nerves.
  3. The neurotransmitter is acetylcholine.

The control in the somatic division of the peripheral nervous system is not always involuntary, it is usually voluntary. Also, in the somatic nervous system, only one neuron is needed to carry messages from the central nervous system to the targeted skeletal muscle, not two.
