Intrinsic muscles are part of the somatic system, as they are primarily under voluntary control and are responsible for movements of specific body parts, such as those in the hands or face. Unlike the autonomic system, which regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion, intrinsic muscles operate through conscious motor commands from the brain. Therefore, they are associated with somatic nervous functions rather than autonomic ones.
