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: -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-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic Nervous System Examples The sensory neurons in the retina send this information to the brain where it is processed by the thalamus and is then sent to the occipital lobe, which processes visual information. From there, motor information is sent through motor neurons to the muscles in the arms and legs.
