 Genitofemoral
 SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

 To connect the central nervous system to the organs, muscles, and skin. This allows you to
perform complex movements and behaviors.

2 MAIN PARTS
 Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are responsible for carrying
information from the nerves to the CNS.
 Motor neurons, also known as efferent neurons, are responsible for carrying
information from the brain and spinal cord to muscle fibers throughout the body

AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

 The part of the nervous system responsible for control of the bodily functions not
consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes.
