The Somatic Nervous System(SNS) is responsible for voluntary control of the body, as opposed to the Autonomic Nervous System, which is responsible for control of the body's involuntary functions.
Explanation:
They are both parts of the Peripheral Nervous System. While the Somatic Nervous system is associated with control of the bodies voluntary functions via the skeletal muscles, the Autonomic Nervous System is associated with the body's involuntary functions, often remembered as "Fight or Flight, "Rest and Digest", and "Feed and Breed".
