How do the axons of somatic motor fibers (somatic nervous system) differ from the axons in the autonomic nervous system (in terms of myelinization, thickness, speed of impulse/action …
14.1A: Comparing the Somatic and Autonomic Nervous Systems
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system (SoNS) is the part of the peripheral …

We covered the autonomic motor system in a previous chapter. The embryonic structures that develop into voluntary (skeletal) muscle are the effectors of the somatic motor system. This …
Chapter 15: Compare the somatic and autonomic nervous …
The motor neurons (efferent neurons) conduct impulses out to the skeletal muscles (effectors), which produce required response movements. Somatic motor neurons are also covered by a …
