a voluntary muscle is a muscle that move when you tell it to
Muscles 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.

∙ 11y agoVoluntary muscles create intentional motion (you tell the muscle what to do) while involuntary muscles are operated through the nervous system automatically. An example of intentional motion (voluntary muscle) would be when you raise your arm, walk, etc. An example of reaction motion (involuntary motion) is breathing while you are asleep.

Skeletal muscles, like biceps (the muscles that flex your forearm/wrist toward your shoulder) are voluntary muscles. These muscles will not flex unless you think about flexing them, and your brain sends that signal to your arm.
Cardiac muscles, which contract your heart, pumping blood to different areas of your body, are involuntary. You have no mental control over your heart muscles, they just contract on their own. When you exert yourself, you do not have to will or command your heart to beat faster. Increased heart rate is an involuntary response to exertion.
