Explanation

The somatic nervous system is involved in voluntary actions and carries sensory information from the skin and signals to skeletal muscles. Therefore, it regulates voluntary activities and relays information to and from skin and skeletal muscles. Involuntary functions such as controlling heart rate, internal organs, and digestion are handled by the autonomic nervous system.
