Question

In what stage does an efferent somatic signal exist and what is the target of this signal and how does that differ from an autonomic signal?

in what stage of the male sex response**

Answer 1

Somatic Nervous System	Autonomic Nervous System
efferent axon supply to skeletal muscles	efferent axon supply to smooth and cardiac muscles
One neuron efferent pathway	Two neuron efferent pathway
No ganglion is present	Ganglion is present and dividies the neuron before and after ganglion into preganglionic neuron and postganglionic neuron.
emerge from ventral roots in spinal cord	emerge from brain and spinal cord
voluntarily controlled	involuntary in action
less complex than ANS	more complex than somatic nervous system
divided into spinal and cranial nerves	divided into sympathetic (thoracolumbar supply) and parasympathetic (craniosaccral supply) divisions.
myelinated axon- hence fast conduction	presynaptic- myelinated (fast conduction), postsynaptic - nonmyelinated (slow conduction)
have both afferent and efferent pathways	only efferent pthway present
it is only excitatory in action	both excitatory and inhibitory in action
helps in the ejaculation of sperm of the urethra by the help of bulbospongiosis muscle (skeletal muscle) - in male reproductive system.	regulates blood flow and contraction of smooth muscle contraction in the male reproductive tract. The erection is controlled by parasympathetic innervation and emission and ejaculation is controlled by sympathetic innervation.
