Detailed explanation-1: -The brain and spinal cord are responsible for processing and integrating the various sources of information to allow us to develop a response. Therefore the main function of the somatic nervous system is to connect the CNS with organs and striated muscle to perform our daily functions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Specifically, the somatic nervous system is responsible for movement of voluntary muscles and the process known as a reflex arc. This system carries nerve impulses back and forth between the central nervous system, which is the brain and the spinal cord, and the skeletal muscles, skin, and sensory organs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system is also known as the voluntary nervous system. It is a part of the peripheral nervous system. Major functions of the somatic nervous system include voluntary movement of the muscles and organs and reflex movements.
Detailed explanation-4: -How is the sensory-somatic nervous system involved in sensing information and motor function? The sensory-somatic nervous system transmits information from the skin, muscles, and sensory organs to the peripheral nervous system. Motor information is sent to and from the central nervous system and the muscles.
