What is the primary difference between the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system?

The autonomic nervous system enables us to control our involuntary muscles, while the somatic nervous system controls our glands.

The somatic nervous system allows us to consciously control our skeletal muscles, and the autonomic nervous system controls activity that humans cannot consciously control, such as the pumping of the heart and the movement of food through the digestive tract.
