The correct response is: **It controls muscle contraction.**
The nervous system influences the respiratory system primarily by controlling the contraction of respiratory muscles, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, which are essential for breathing. It also regulates the rate and depth of respiration through signals from the brain, especially from the medulla oblongata and pons.
