Small, constant adjustments of the skeletal muscles are needed to hold a body upright or balanced in any position. Muscles also prevent excess movement of the bones and joints, maintaining skeletal stability and preventing skeletal structure damage or deformation. Joints can become misaligned or dislocated entirely; muscles work to keep joints stable.

The sympathetic division is responsible to maintain homeostasis in situations of "fight-or-flight". Sympathetic ganglia along the vertebral column or in the abdominal region receive preganglionic axons from autonomic motor neurons of the thoracic and lumbar region of the spinal cord. The parasympathetic division is responsible to maintain homeostasis when the body is at rest. Parasympathetic ganglia are located near or within the effector organs.

The somatic nervous system causes contraction of skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system controls cardiac and smooth muscle, as well as glandular tissue. The somatic nervous system is associated with voluntary responses and the autonomic nervous system is associated with involuntary responses.
