Respuesta :

Voluntary control exists in the somatic nervous system.

The somatic nervous system (SNS), or voluntary nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles.

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

The somatic nervous system consists of two parts:

  • Spinal nerves: They are mixed nerves that carry sensory information into and motor commands out of the spinal cord.
  • Cranial nerves: They are the nerve fibres that carry information into and out of the brain stem. They include smell, vision, eye, eye muscles, mouth, taste, ear, neck, shoulders, and tongue.

Function :

The somatic nervous system controls all voluntary muscular systems within the body, and the process of voluntary reflex arcs.

The basic route of nerve signals within the efferent somatic nervous system involves a sequence that begins in the upper cell bodies of motor neurons (upper motor neurons) within the precentral gyrus (which approximates the primary motor cortex). Stimuli from the precentral gyrus are transmitted from upper motor neurons, down the corticospinal tract, to lower motor neurons (alpha motor neurons) in the brainstem and ventral horn of the spinal cord: upper motor neurons release a neurotransmitter called glutamate from their axon terminal knobs, which is received by glutamate receptors on the lower motor neurons: from there, acetylcholine is released from the axon terminal knobs of alpha motor neurons and received by postsynaptic receptors (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors) of muscles, thereby relaying the stimulus to contract muscle fibres.
