The somatic nervous system (SNS) is made up of nerves that are connected to the skin, skeletal muscles and sensory organs consisting of the eyes, ears, tongue, skin and nose. This system enables our voluntary control of muscles, as well as our reception of sights, sounds, sensations, tastes and smells. While, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) deals with involuntary actions, such as digestion, salivation, heart rate, perspiration and the fight or flight response.
