Compare and contrast voluntary and involuntary muscles?
Involuntary muscles are muscles that you can't control. Such as the internal muscles. Involuntary muscles are the muscles that work by themselves without you personally doing anything to work them. Voluntary muscles are the muscles that you're in control with. An example of voluntary muscles would be when you sit down, or when you turn a page in a book. Voluntary muscles are muscles that you can control easier by yourself than with lots of help from your other muscles like you would need for your involuntary muscles. In short, the differences between the two are the fact that involuntary muscles are controlled without your help, and voluntary muscles work with your help because they are easier to work.
