Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The part of the nervous system that carries impulses to your legs so you can walk is
A
autonomic
B
somatic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your somatic nervous system is a subdivision of your peripheral nervous system that stretches throughout nearly every part of your body. The nerves in this system deliver information from your senses to your brain. They also carry commands from your brain to your muscles so you can move around.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electrical stimulation of isolated brainstem regions has been shown to evoke walking-like behaviors. The two key regions that have been identified are the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) and subthalamic locomotor region (SLR).

Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system consists of sensory nerves carrying afferent nerve fibers, which relay sensation from the body to the central nervous system (CNS), and motor nerves carrying efferent nerve fibers, which relay motor commands from the CNS to stimulate muscle contraction.

Detailed explanation-4: -When we begin to move, the brain first sends a signal to the spinal cord, then nerve cells in the spinal cord control the precise coordination of the muscles. The results also indicate that each part of the brainstem controls a certain aspect of moving-either running or walking.
