Which is an example of when Hector's somatic sensory system is in control?

Answer
A
After a long run, his body is sweating.
B
When jogging, he sees an ice patch and decides to change directions to a different route.
C
His eyes dilate because he sees something scary.
D
He eats a large meal and his body takes multiple hours to digest it.

Explanation

The somatic nervous system handles conscious sensory information and voluntary movement. When Hector sees the ice patch and chooses to change direction, he is using his senses to make a decision and control his movement. Sweating, pupil dilation, and digestion are mainly controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
