Is the somatic nervous system voluntary or involuntary?
Voluntary!
The somatic nervous system is primarily considered voluntary. It controls the body’s skeletal muscles and is responsible for voluntary movements. This system includes motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscles and sensory neurons that carry information from the sensory organs to the central nervous system. Through these neurons, the somatic nervous system allows conscious control over activities such as walking, running, and other purposeful movements.
