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: -The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, transmits and receives messages from the senses, and is involved in reflex actions without the involvement of the CNS so that the reflex can occur very quickly. They also predict certain essential life outcomes such as education and health.
Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system provides control of skeletal muscle movement. Conscious control of movement originates in the motor cortex (both premotor and primary motor cortex). However, movement is refined and coordinated by various structures in the CNS, including extrapyramidal regions and the cerebellum.
