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.

Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?. The cells are too large.. The cells are inactive.. The cells are damag
anygoal [31]

The right answer is The cells are damaged.

Take the example of skin cells.  

The skin consists of two tissues:

* the outermost, the epidermis, resting on a vascularized connective tissue,

* the dermis.

In the epidermis, which includes several layers of cells, the outer layer is formed of dead cells that are desquamating and are constantly being replaced from proliferating basal cell cells. So, in normal conditions, the epidermis is in constant renewal.

On the other hand, when accidentally, the upper parts of the epidermis are damaged, for example, a slight abrasion or of a burn, the destroyed portion is regenerated (replaced) thanks to an accelerated proliferation of basal epidermal cells .
