Nature of Biology Question

[fridge]

Having trouble with Q4 of the chapter 6 chapter review (Nature of Biology)

Identify which groups of effector neurons are active when you are:
a) playing in a basketball game
b) sleeping soundly
c) eating food while watching a movie
d) taking a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator

Is it asking whether they involve the the autonomic or somatic nervous systems? If so, would it be a) somatic, b) somatic, c) autonomic, d) somatic.

Thanks

The somatic nervous system detects and initiates responses to external stimuli, whereas the autonomic nervous system detects and initiates responses to internal stimuli (i.e. internal environment of the organism).

Your answers look right - I just wish they were a little bit unambiguous.. maybe a few more sentences about the context of it would have been better.
