What is the difference between the autonomic and somatic nervous system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mind vs body: Autonomic are the responses from our nervous system so you breath without even thinkindgabout it and you heart beats. Somatic can be the responses of our body especially when we're worrying about things so we might get a headache of a stomach ache.
