The somatic nervous system can be thought of as the branch of the nervous system of which we are conscious. The somatic nervous system provides sensory and motor innervation to all body parts except organs, smooth muscles, and glands. It is involved in our voluntary movements - jumping, walking, speaking; reflexive movements; and the sensations that we are aware of such as pain and light. |
