AP PSYCHOLOGY

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: -In addition to regulating the voluntary movements of the body, the somatic nervous system is also responsible for a specific type of involuntary muscle responses known as reflexes, controlled by a neural pathway known as the reflex arc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum: The cerebellum, also known as the little brain, is responsible for smooth, coordinated voluntary movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -The somatic nervous system (SNS), or voluntary nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of the Somatic Nervous System Response Striated skeletal muscles under voluntary control receive signals to contract on the basis of stimuli relayed to the CNS. For instance, while walking in a tropical forest, you watch the forest floor for fallen twigs, insects or undergrowth.
