Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When we touch a hot object the sense organs feel the temperature and the hand is withdrawn. The stimulus is carried to the brain by the sensory neuron while it is carried back to effector organs by motor neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Imagine accidentally touching something hot. Your body’s natural reaction is to move your hand away from the source of the heat. This response is known as a reflex or reflex arc. A reflex arc is an involuntary movement in response to a stimulus.
