Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements and sensory information from the external environment, including actions like pedaling a bike, walking, scratching, or smelling a flower. The other options (sympathetic, parasympathetic, and autonomic) control involuntary actions and responses such as heart rate, digestion, and fight or flight responses.
