    Somatic Nervous System

    Uploaded by

    Richmond Czyrus Lopez
    The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that is associated with voluntary control of body movements through skeletal muscles. It has two main divisions: spinal nerves and cranial nerves. Spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord and branch to innervate different body regions, with a total of 31 pairs. Cranial nerves originate in the brain stem, totaling 12 pairs that control structures of the head and sense functions.

    WHAT IS PERIPHERAL NERVOUS
    SYSTEM?
    WHAT IS PERIPHERAL
    NERVOUS SYSTEM?
    • Isthe part of your nervous system that
    lies outside your brain and spinal
    cord.It plays key role in both sending
    information from different areas of your
    body back to your brain to various part
    of your body.

    WHAT IS SOMATIC
    NERVOUS SYSTEM?
    WHAT IS SOMATIC
    NERVOUS SYSTEM?
    • Isa component of the peripheral nervous
    system associated with the voluntary control
    of the body movements via the use of skeletal
    muscles.
    • It
    is responsible for all the functions we are
    aware of and can consciously influence,
    including the movement of our arms,legs, and
    other parts of our body

    OF PERIPHERAL
    NERVOUS SYSTEM
    •Spinal Nerves
    •Cranial Nerves
    SPINAL NERVES
    •  carries
    somatosensory information into
    and motor instructions out of the spinal
    cord. They arise from the spinal cord as
    nerve roots and merge to form a web
    (plexus) of interconnected nerve roots
    and once again branch to form nerve
    fibers
    SPINAL NERVES
    • Intotal, there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves
    grouped regionally by spinal region. 
    More specifically, there are eight cervical
    nerve pairs (C1-C8), twelve thoracic
    nerve pairs (T1-T12), five lumbar nerve
    pairs (L1-L5), 5 sacral (S1-S5), and a
    single coccygeal nerve pair.

    CRANIAL NERVES
    • Isresponsible for carrying information in and
    out of the brain. Ten of the cranial nerves
    originate from the brain stem and mainly
    control the voluntary movement and structures
    of the head with some exceptions. The nucleus
    of the olfactory and optic nerve are located in
    the forebrain and thalamus, respectively, and
    are not considered true cranial nerves.
    CRANIAL NERVES
    • Youhave 12 cranial nerve pairs. Each
    nerve pair splits to serve the two sides
    of your brain and body. For example,
    you have one pair of olfactory nerves.
    One olfactory nerve is on the left side
    of your brain and one is on the right
    side of your brain
    What are the types of cranial
    nerves?
    • Your12 cranial nerves each have a specific function. Experts categorize the cranial
    nerves based on number and function:
    1)Olfactory nerve: Sense of smell.
    2)Optic nerve: Ability to see.
    3)Oculomotor nerve: Ability to move and blink your eyes.
    4)Trochlear nerve: Ability to move your eyes up and down or
    back and forth.
    5)Trigeminal nerve: Sensations in your face and cheeks, taste
    and jaw movements.
    6)Abducens nerve: Ability to move your eyes.
    What are the types of cranial
    nerves?
    7)Facial nerve: Facial expressions and sense of taste.
    8)Auditory/vestibular nerve: Sense of hearing and
    balance.
    9)Glossopharyngeal nerve: Ability to taste and
    swallow.
    10)Vagus nerve: Digestion and heart rate.
    11)Accessory nerve (or spinal accessory
    nerve): Shoulder and neck muscle movement.
    12)Hypoglossal nerve: Ability to move your tongue.
