It is an involuntary muscle. You do not have to think about breathing, it's automatic.

cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscles and smooth muscles are both voluntary or involuntary muscles?
Both cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary. The only voluntary muscle type is skeletal muscle.
Can a muscle be involuntary and voluntary?
a muscle can be both involuntary or voluntary.the muscles which are under our control are said to known as voluntary muscle.e.g. biceps,triceps.the muscle which are not in our control are called involuntary muscles.e.g.muscle in our internal organs
Are cardiac muscles and smooth muscles involuntary or voluntary muscles?
Both cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary. The only voluntary muscle type is skeletal muscle.
What is the difference between a voluntary muscle and an 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.
Is the diaphragm muscle skeletal muscle?
The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. It is innervated by the phrenic nerve. The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration, with diaphragmatic contraction responsible for 75% of the air movement in a normal breath at rest. Respiratory control is both voluntary and involuntary. Because of the involuntary control, the diaphragm is commonly mistaken to be made up of smooth muscle, but this is incorrect. The brain's involuntary respiratory centers regulate the activity of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles in response to sensory information (very much like an involuntary reflex arc). These involuntary centers are housed in the brainstem. The cerebral cortex controls voluntary breathing, which also affects the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. For forced inhalation or exhalation, additional skeletal muscles (e.g., pectoralis minor, scalenes, sternocleidomastoid) may also be involved.

What muscle is voluntary and involuntary?
Muscles that are under your conscious control are voluntary, such as flexing your elbow. The ones under unconscious control are either reflexive or involuntary, such as the muscles that move your food through your digestive system, or make your heart beat.
What type of muscle tissue is diaphragm?
These include the skeletal muscles which are under voluntary control and are made of striated muscle tissue, the visceral muscles which are under involuntary control and are made of smooth muscle tissue, and cardiac muscle tissue which is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle tissue has properties in common with each of the other two types. Sierra Q
