<P> The somatic nervous system consists of afferent nerves or sensory nerves , and efferent nerves or motor nerves . Afferent nerves are responsible for relaying sensation from the body to the central nervous system ; efferent nerves are responsible for sending out commands from the CNS to the body , stimulating muscle contraction ; they include all the non-sensory neurons connected with skeletal muscles and skin . The a - of afferent and the e - of efferent correspond to the prefixes ad - ( to , toward ) and ex - ( out of ) . </P>
