<u>Explanation</u>:  

The "Somatic nervous system" is division of "peripheral nervous system". Somatic nervous system has two categories of neurons which differ in their mode of impulse transmission these are afferent neurons that carries the signal from sensory receptors of the body to the central nervous system (CNS) and efferent neurons that carries the nerve impulses from the CNS to the other parts of body which have voluntary muscles hence forming a reflex arc. Afferent neurons (sensory neurons) and efferent neurons (motor neurons) are only involved in controlling the voluntary muscles.

Kay [80]
When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.
