Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements such as pedaling a bike or scratching a toe. The other options, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, are part of the autonomic nervous system and are responsible for involuntary responses such as the fight or flight response or regulation of internal organs. The secondary nervous system is not a recognized term in neuroscience.
