The correct response is: It controls muscle contraction.
The nervous system influences the respiratory system primarily by controlling the muscles involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. The brainstem contains respiratory centers that regulate the rate and depth of breathing in response to the body's needs.
