Is voluntary control of skeletal muscles provided by the nervous system?

According to Boundless, voluntary control of skeletal muscles is provided by the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for all voluntary and involuntary actions of the human body.

According to Boundless, movement of the skeletal muscles is controlled by the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system, which connects external stimuli to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits signals from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles and also mediates sight, hearing and touch.

The part of the nervous system that regulates involuntary actions such as breathing and digestion is the autonomic nervous system, states Boundless.
