Detailed explanation-1: -Somatic sensory fibers. Sensory fibers delivering impulses from the skin, skeletal muscles, and joints are called somatic sensory fibers. Visceral sensory fibers. Those that transmit impulses from the visceral organs are called visceral sensory fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sensory (afferent) division carries sensory signals by way of afferent nerve fibers from receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). It can be further subdivided into somatic and visceral divisions. The somatic sensory division carries signals from receptors in the skin, muscles, bones and joints.
Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic sensory input comes from the receptors of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. These organs transmit information we associate with the five senses. Visceral sensory input comes from (surprise!) the viscera, or internal organs.
