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: -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-3: -The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Somatic Nervous System☆ 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.
