False


The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. Specifically, the somatic nervous system is responsible for the movement of voluntary muscles. This system carries nerve impulses back and forth between the central nervous system, which is the brain and the spinal cord, and the skeletal muscles, skin, and sensory organs.
