ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of the body movements via the use of skeletal muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Then there are somatic motor fibers, which only innervate skeletal muscle and control voluntary actions of the body, like putting the coffee cup back on the table until it cools down. On the flip side, the autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary activities within the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both the central and peripheral nervous systems have voluntary and involuntary parts. However, whereas these two parts are closely linked in the central nervous system, they are usually separate in other areas of the body. The involuntary nervous system is made up of three parts: The sympathetic nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -A somatic reflex is an involuntary response to a stimulus, such as pulling one’s hand away after touching a hot stove. The nervous system is split into the central nervous system (i.e., the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (i.e., nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord).

Detailed explanation-5: -Your somatic nervous system involves things you can consciously sense and do. Your autonomic nervous system works without you thinking about it, running the behind-the-scenes processes that keep you alive. Both are subdivisions of the peripheral nervous system, a subsystem of your overall nervous system.
