Detailed explanation-1: -Your somatic nervous system allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body. It also feeds information from four of your senses-smell, sound, taste and touch-into your brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The brain and spinal cord are responsible for processing and integrating the various sources of information to allow us to develop a response. Therefore the main function of the somatic nervous system is to connect the CNS with organs and striated muscle to perform our daily functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system consists of nerves that go to the skin and muscles and is involved in conscious activities. The autonomic nervous system consists of nerves that connect the CNS to the visceral organs such as the heart, stomach, and intestines. It mediates unconscious activities.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main flavors of sensory input received by the PNS: somatic and visceral. Somatic sensory input comes from the receptors of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. These organs transmit information we associate with the five senses.
Detailed explanation-5: -The primary role of the somatic nervous system is to connect the central nervous system to the organs, muscles, and skin. This allows you to perform complex movements and behaviors.
