What is the main difference between autonomic and somatic nervous systems?

Somatic functions carry commands from the brain, while autonomic processes carry sensory information.

Autonomic processes connect directly to the spinal cord, while somatic functions connect to the brain.

Autonomic processes are managed consciously, while somatic functions are automatic.

Autonomic processes are automatic, while somatic functions are managed by thinking about them. (correct)
