Areas of the brain responsible for voluntary activities of the body?
The peripheral nervous system controls all the voluntary activities of the body.
Which body system is responsible for directing activities of the other systems?
The nervous system is responsible for directing and coordinating activities of the other systems in the body. It receives and processes information from the sensory organs, sends signals to muscles and glands, and controls voluntary and involuntary actions.
What do voluntary muscles do in the body?
Voluntary muscles help you to perform voluntary movements.
How do muscles vary throughout the body?
Muscles vary throughout the body by voluntary and involuntary, voluntary is the muscles you can move and involuntary is the muscles you can't move.
What is mainly responsible for execution of voluntary movement?
the central nervous system handles all voluntary movement in the body:)
Describe the structure and function of the cerebrum?
Is the cerebellum the largest and most prominent region of the human brain that is responsible for the voluntary or conscious activities of the body?
The largest and most prominent part of the human brain is the forebrain.
Areas of the brain responsible for voluntary activities of the body?
The peripheral nervous system controls all the voluntary activities of the body.
What part of the brain controls conscious activities of the body?
The part of the brain that controls conscious activities of the body is the pituitary gland. It is usually located at the base of the skull.
Where is the primary motor area belongs?
voluntary motor activities of contralateral side of the body...
What is a skeletal muscle and is it voluntary or involuntary?
The skeletal muscle covers and clings to the body skeleton. It is responsible for body movement and is voluntary because it is under our conscious control unlike the cardiac muscle which is responsible for the heart beat
What is locked-in syndrome?
Locked-in syndrome is a condition in which an individual is fully conscious, but all the voluntary muscles of the body are completely paralyzed, with the exception of the muscles controlling eye movement
What type of muscle is controlled by conscious thought?

Names of the three different types of musc les inthe body and which ones can you control?
Voluntary (striated) Involuntary (smooth) Cardiac. You have conscious control over the first type.
When does your muscle contract?
Voluntary muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system. Voluntary muscle contraction occurs as a result of conscious effort originating in the brain. The brain sends signals, in the form of action potentials, through the nervous system to the motor neuron that innervates several muscle fibers. In the case of some reflexes, the signal to contract can originate in the spinal cord through a feedback loop with the grey matter. Involuntary muscles such as the heart or smooth muscles in the gut and vascular system contract as a result of non-conscious brain activity or stimuli proceeding in the body to the muscle itself.
Can you say in english figure-conscious body?

Why are some muscles called voluntary and involunary?
The somatic nerves control the voluntary cells which are under conscious control. If you want to walk, and do so, this is a voluntary motion. The autonomic nerves control the involuntary motions of your body. These nerves keep check of your body by maintaining temperature, composition of blood, heart beat, digestion, and excretion. These are actions that you do not think about. Even stress when your blood pressure, pulse rate, and blood sugar become elevated, is controlled by the autonomic nerves. The somatic and autonomic systems work together. Skin exposed to cold air becomes "blue," this is autonomic. At the same time impulses are sent to the brain for sensations of cold, this is somatic.
