Question

• It regulates blood pressure.
It controls muscle contraction.
It stimulates defense against pathogens.

The correct statement is: It controls muscle contraction.

The nervous system influences the respiratory system primarily through the control of the muscles involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This regulation allows for the appropriate changes in respiratory rate and depth in response to various physiological demands.
