ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -However, the enormous number of responses, both voluntary and involuntary, cannot occur randomly, but must be to serve the body as a whole, and part of this co-ordination is brought about in part by the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The somatic nervous system consists of both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerves [1].

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: -One common example is the knee reflex: hitting the patellar tendon just below the knee cap with a reflex hammer leads to an automatic contraction of the quadriceps – which results in the lower leg kicking out.
