The somatic nervous system is voluntary because one can consciously control the responses.
Voluntary responses are under conscious control, while involuntary responses occur without conscious control. Voluntary responses typically involve skeletal muscles, while involuntary responses involve smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, or glandular secretions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Your reflcts are unvoluntary, but everything else isn't.
Most muscles are under voluntary control, save for reflexive responses. However, the muscles that operate the heart and lungs, for example, are autonomic or under non-voluntary control.
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known for his pioneering work in classical conditioning, was one of the first researchers to explore and outline the laws of voluntary responses. His experiments with dogs led to the discovery of conditioned responses and the concept of stimulus-response associations.
An involuntary response is when the doctor taps your knee with a hammer and your leg jerks forward. A voluntary response is when you are angry at your doctor and kick him hard by swinging your leg forward.
The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain responsible for forming responses such as thoughts and movements. It plays a key role in cognitive functions and voluntary actions.
Voluntary actions are consciously controlled movements initiated by the brain, while reflex actions are automatic responses to stimuli that do not require conscious thought. Voluntary actions involve higher brain functions and can be modified based on individual intent, while reflex actions are typically quick, involuntary responses for immediate protection or survival.
