The somatic nervous system is an integral part of the peripheral nervous system associated with conscious activities like running. The somatic nervous system (SNS) transmits motor and sensory signals from and to the central nervous system, thus consisting of both motor and sensory neurons. The somatic nervous system receives and transmits signals from the senses and is also involved in reflex action bypassing the central nervous system for a quick response. The automatic system (ANS) and the somatic nervous system (SNS) are part of the peripheral nervous system and function in different ways. Both SNS and ANS work together to maintain an optimal internal environment called homeostasis, which is essential for survival.
