How does voluntary action occur?

Voluntary means it's under your direct control. You think about the muscles moving and they move to do whatever you told them to do. The brain sends an electric signal to the muscle(s) and cause them to move.


Is the cerebrum part of the brain that controls involuntary actions?

No. The medulla oblongata with the brain stem control all the necessary involuntary actions in our body.


Can skeletal muscules be controlled?

Yes, skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, meaning that we can consciously decide when to contract or relax them to perform movements. This control is facilitated by the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord that send signals to the muscles to initiate movement.


What parts of the brain are voluntary?

Voluntary movements in the brain are controlled by the motor cortex, which is located in the frontal lobe. This area of the brain sends signals to the muscles to initiate and coordinate voluntary movements. Other parts of the brain, such as the cerebellum and basal ganglia, also play a role in coordinating and fine-tuning voluntary movements.


What controls movement?

Movement is controlled by the Brain. A movement is executed by muscles, bones and tendons. But is is the Brain that sends a neural message to the muscle in order for this one to move.In the brain, it is the Cerebullum that is responsible for motor control and it is the Motor Cortex in the Cerebral Cortex that is also responsible for the movement of any member in the body.Movement in the body is divided into external mobility and internal motility. All movements are produced by muscle, whether it is skeletal muscles that we control (voluntary) or cardiac muscle in the heart and smooth muscle in our internal organs (involuntary), they all are under direct control of the nervous system and its various branches.

Are the lungs voluntary or involuntary muscles?

The cardiac or heart muscles are involuntary.They are stimulated and regulated by the involuntary nervous system.InvoluntoryIt is involuntary, which means it's automatic and you can't control it.


Are lung muscles involuntary or voluntary?

The lungs aren't muscles but the muscles that move them are voluntary although they are usually under the control of the respiratory system of the brain stem.


How are voluntary and involuntary muscles different?

Voluntary muscles chose to be moved and your will. For example your pectoral muscles and or your biceps. You can flex them and move them to your control by giving in nerve signals from your brain to that muscle. Involuntary muscles have automatic neurological control. Example would be the heart, you don't think about it but it still beats, and if you do exercise your brain automatically tells your heart to beat faster to pump more blood into your body.


An organ that controls voluntary and involuntary muscles?

The brain.


What muscles control involuntary movement like breathing digestion etc?

Smooth muscles control involuntary movement. However, breathing can be controlled by both voluntary and involuntary muscles. A person can hold their breath if they want but otherwise they don't need to think about it as the brain sets the rhythm.

How are voluntary and involuntary muscle different from each other?

Generally, voluntary muscles are striated and skeletal muscles, while involuntary muscles are smooth muscles and are visceral (located in organs). Voluntary muscles are muscles that can be consciously contracted, while involuntary muscles are muscles that are contracted at certain times or at all times without the conscious consent of the brain.


What is true regarding voluntary and involuntary response?

Voluntary responses are under conscious control, while involuntary responses occur without conscious control. Voluntary responses typically involve skeletal muscles, while involuntary responses involve smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, or glandular secretions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

What are examples of voluntary and involuntary muscle?

a voluntary muscle is a muscle that move when you tell it toMuscles 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.


What muscle moves and work without are control?

Involuntary muscles move without your brain telling them to. Voluntary muscles move when your brain tells them to. Example: you don't have to tell yourself to breath your body just knows that your supposed to.


What muscles are under voluntary control of the brain?

Skeletal muscles that move our bones are under voluntary control. They have a microscopic appearance with striations so they are called striated muscle. Some striated muscles such as muscles of the eyelids (the obicularis muscle of the eye lid) are under both voluntary and involuntary control... you can be blinking by thinking or blink without thinking. This is partly because the obicularis has some specialize "smooth" involuntary muscle fibers mixed in. There are many muscles called smooth muscles that are part of organs such as the stomach and intestine that are not under voluntary control. This muscle has no microscopic striations and is called smooth. The last main type is cardiac that is somewhat like striated but is typically not under voluntary control.
