neurons belonging to the somatic nervous system are involved in which of the following?
making voluntary movements of the skeletal muscles
controlling the involuntary activities of the internal organs
making involuntary movements of the skeletal muscles
controlling voluntary thoughts and behaviors
The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles. It allows us to consciously move our body parts. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary activities of internal organs. Involuntary movements of skeletal muscles are not under somatic - nervous - system control in the typical sense, and the somatic nervous system is not directly related to controlling voluntary thoughts and behaviors (which involve more complex brain - cognitive functions).
