True. The somatic nervous system can both excite and inhibit effectors (muscles) through its motor neurons. Motor neurons in the somatic nervous system send signals to muscles, leading to contraction (excitation) when they are stimulated and relaxation (inhibition) when the stimulation ceases. This allows for precise control of voluntary muscle movements in the body.
