because eye blink movement and eye is not move

∙ 15y agoThat's a tricky question. The answer is both. Think about how you define voluntary and involuntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are muscles that you can intentionally control. While involuntary muscles are muscles that act on their own accord. Anyone can blink if they choose to, making it a voluntary muscle, but if you try to avoid blinking, it'll happen anyway. Making it an involuntary muscle as well. This is one of the few muscles that are in the middle of these two classes.

∙ 14y agoIt's definitely a voluntary muscle. Of course you always want to blink, but you can generally control it.
Your iris, the coloured part of your eye which controls the size of your pupil, is involuntary as it contracts and relaxs to change the amount of light that enters the eye without you thinking about it.

∙ 14y agobecause it is possible to blink on your own but if you try to hold it open it will blinkanyways

∙ 12y agoYou can open and close your eyelids whenever you want or need to. But, if you try to keep your eyes open, they will close by themselves.

∙ 12y agoYes they do involve blinking they also involve sight also light.

Are eyes voluntary or involuntary MUSCLES?
both voluntary and involuntary why voluntary? because we can flap our eye lids as per our wish. why involuntary? because if anything is coming straight to our eye our eyes automatically get closed.
What is the difference between a voluntary and a involuntary muscle?
A voluntary muscle is one you must consciously choose to move, such as when pointing your finger or picking up a glass. An involuntary muscle is one that moves without you choosing to move it, such as heart muscle, and muscles involved in reflexes such as eye blinking.The difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles is (involuntary muscle)when you move without you choosing to move it and (voluntary muscle) that is when you can choose a muscle to move with.Voluntary muscles are consciously moved. Involuntary muscles are not consciously moved, smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are examples of involuntary muscles. When a muscle is both voluntary and involuntary it is considered voluntary.

What muscles are under voluntary control of the brain?
Skeletal muscles that move our bones are under voluntary control. They have a microscopic appearance with striations so they are called striated muscle. Some striated muscles such as muscles of the eyelids (the obicularis muscle of the eye lid) are under both voluntary and involuntary control... you can be blinking by thinking or blink without thinking. This is partly because the obicularis has some specialize "smooth" involuntary muscle fibers mixed in. There are many muscles called smooth muscles that are part of organs such as the stomach and intestine that are not under voluntary control. This muscle has no microscopic striations and is called smooth. The last main type is cardiac that is somewhat like striated but is typically not under voluntary control.
What are examples of voluntary and involuntary muscle?
a voluntary muscle is a muscle that move when you tell it toMuscles in our hands (skeletal muscle) are called voluntary, because these muscles act according to the impulses (orders) given by our conscious brain.Heart (cardiac muscle) is an example of an involuntary muscle. It works all the time with impulses from our brain stem, which is involuntary.some more examples of voluntary muscles in our body are, muscles of the chest, neck, abdomen, etc. and those of involuntary muscles are, muscles of the digestive system, smooth muscles etc.
Why cant your eyelid muscles be classified as voluntary or involuntary muscles?
Eyelid muscles are in the same category as the muscles that expand your ribcage to breathe, they are only half-automatic. You can choose to blink whenever you want, and you can stop for awhile, but your body will eventually force a blink to happen. This is because for the human eye to function, it has to be wet. If blinking weren't forced, there would be a possibility of going blind
Tell you the scientific reasoning behind eye twitching and blinking?
The orbicularis oculi muscle allows us to blink or close our eyes. Twitching involves involuntary control of the eyelid muscles, while blinking involves voluntary control of the eyelid muscle.
What are the kinds of voluntary muscles?
amended. The muscles in your eye lids and heart are examples of involuntary muscles.Voluntary muscles are those that obey (or attempt to) your will. Such as leg muscles, and all those involved in typing at your keyboard.Some muscles obey a (mostly) learned reflex; such as pain, very bright lights, very loud noises.
Are skeletal muscles involuntary and do not move with bones?
No. The opposite is true.A skeletal muscle links two bones across it's connecting joint. The skeletal muscles do move your bones, by contracting or shortening. But these muscles are consciously moved. Involuntary muscles (heart, digestive, eye focus) are controlled by the brain stem without your conscious effort, although some activities (such as breathing or blinking) can be done consciously as well.
How do extrinsic eye muscles differ in action from the instrintic eye muscles?
Extrinsic eye muscles move the eyeball in relation to the rest of the body, whereas intrinsic muscles move structures within the eyeball.A: The extrinsic muscles control the movement of the eyes.The extrinsic muscles are controlled by the somatic nervous system(voluntary) The intrinsicmuscles control the lens and pupil. The intrinsiceye muscles, (including the iris sphincter, radial pupilodilator muscles and the ciliarymuscle), are under the control of the autonomic nervous system(involuntary)
Why can your eyelid muscle be classified as voluntary or involuntary muscle?
You can close your eyes or blink whenever you want to, but most of the time you blink several times per minute without thinking about it.
What extrinsic eye muscles are controlled during the convergence reflex?
The voluntary muscles of the eye is the extrinsic eye muscle that are controlled during the convergence reflex. The convergence reflex is keen on keeping the eye alert.
