Voluntary muscles are muscles that are controlled by the person's will. The difference between the voluntary muscles and involuntary muscles are you don't have to think about involuntary muscles such as your heart. An example of voluntary muscles are your arms, legs, mouth, and fingers.

∙ 6y agoA voluntary muscle is a muscle under our conscious control. For instance, If I want to move my head, arms, legs, and eat using my jaw, etc. to do so I use muscles that I can control, and only use them when I want to. A good example of an involuntary muscle (which I think is more important!) is our heart (a four-chambered muscular pump) - imagine having to consciously make our heart beat - and then forget or fall asleep!

Is my calf voluntary or involuntary?
voluntary
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What does contraction mean in medical terms?
contract or "contraction" is when a muscle fiber lengthens or shortens
What is the medical term meaning a neuromuscular disorder charaterized by by the slow relaxation of the muscle after a voluntary contraction?
Myotonia
When you say voluntary muscle what does this mean?
The muscle that you move intentionally
What is the purpose of muscle contraction?
Muscle contraction can be either voluntary or involuntary and is a method the human body uses to move, stretch, and even keep warm. Muscles contract while you are walking, running, and even exercising.
What happens when a muscle contracts?
when the muscle shortens (contracts), the two bones come closer together, isometric contraction excepted.
What happen during muscular contractions?
During the process of muscle contraction, tension starts to build up within the tissue that leads for the body to create some sort of action or sometimes it doesnâ??t. Muscle contraction creates a movement whether it is voluntary or involuntary itâ??s the muscle contraction that is responsible for that certain action.
What does voluntary muscle mean?
Voluntary muscles are those muscles that can be moved by the conscious effort and the will of an individual.
How the muscle of the heart different from other muscle of the heart?
The heart muscle is different from smooth and skeletal muscles because it does not require a nerve to cause it to contract. The heart has it's own built in conduction system that cause's the automatic contraction and relaxation that is required for circulation. Smooth and Skeletal muscle whether it uses voluntary or involuntary muscle contraction all have innervation to cause the contraction. Sara, RN
Why are skeletal muscle fibers unusual?
The skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is the muscle attached to the skeleton. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. The contraction of skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction
