The somatic nervous system is responsible for conveying sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, which includes the brain. This includes the sensation of heat from a hot object like a dish. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are responsible for regulating bodily functions such as breathing and digestion, while the autonomic nervous system encompasses both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
