Explanation:

The somatic nervous system is the part of the nervous system in vertebrates that is related to the work of the skeletal muscles and the sense organs. The nerves of the somatic nervous system innervate the skin, striated muscles, eyes, nose, ears and other organs, allowing them to see, hear, feel, taste and smell through the sense organs.
