Detailed explanation-2: -Although most of the autonomic nervous system responses are involuntary, they can integrate with the somatic nervous system, which is responsible for the voluntary movements. For example, in the case of defecation, there is an interplay between voluntary and involuntary movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary or automatic functions, it is called the involuntary nervous system.
