ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system provides control of skeletal muscle movement. Conscious control of movement originates in the motor cortex (both premotor and primary motor cortex). However, movement is refined and coordinated by various structures in the CNS, including extrapyramidal regions and the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The somatic nervous system is under conscious control, meaning that we can choose to move our muscles or not. For example, when we decide to pick up a book, our brain sends signals down the motor neurons to our arm muscles, telling them to contract. The somatic nervous system can also undergo unconscious activation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The Brain. The brain processes most of the body’s sensory information and is responsible for coordinating conscious and unconscious body functions including feeling, thinking, and maintaining homeostasis, which is the body’s ability to maintain a stable environment.
