Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system connects the central nervous system with the body’s muscles and skin. Its primary function is to control voluntary movements and reflex arcs, while also helping us process the senses of touch, sound, taste, and smell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The somatic nervous system is under conscious control, meaning that we can choose to move our muscles or not. For example, when we decide to pick up a book, our brain sends signals down the motor neurons to our arm muscles, telling them to contract. The somatic nervous system can also undergo unconscious activation.
