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.

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.
Is muscle tissue involuntary?
Some muscles are voluntary some are involuntary.
What muscle is voluntary and involuntary?
Muscles that are under your conscious control are voluntary, such as flexing your elbow. The ones under unconscious control are either reflexive or involuntary, such as the muscles that move your food through your digestive system, or make your heart beat.
Do you have to think of a movement before it will happen?
With some muscles, called voluntary muscles, you must think of the movement for it to happen. With involuntary muscles, however (like the heart and diaphragm), your brain does the moving automatically without you having to think about it ahead of time.
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.
Why are voluntary muscle also called skeletal muscles?
Voluntary muscles are ones that you have the ability to consciously control: Arms, legs, mouth, head movement, etc. Most of the major muscle groups used or movement and communication are voluntary.Involuntary muscles would be things like your heart and the muscles around your intestines, which you generally cannot consciously control.Voluntary muscles are ones that you have the ability to consciously control: Arms, legs, mouth, head movement, etc. Most of the major muscle groups used or movement and communication are voluntary.Involuntary muscles would be things like your heart and the muscles around your intestines, which you generally cannot consciously control.
What are the muscles called that cannot be controlled?
There are some muscles in the body we cannot control: they are called involuntary muscles and cardiac muscles. Involuntary muscles are found in the digestive tract for example. Cardiac muscles are found in the heart. Neither these two muscle types are controlled. We can control what are called voluntary muscles which are the muscles that were used to move our bones.
What are some muscles that are involuntary?
the muscles in your digestive system would be called involuntary muscles. involuntary muscles mean that they work without you telling them to. your heart is another example. every second of your life, you don't need to tell your heart to beat, it does it by itself. the muscles that help us move are voluntary. we tell them to move. they cant move on their own.
Do muscles work only when you want them to?
No!!! Your body has both voluntary and involuntary muscles. The voluntary ones are the ones that you can freely move yourself. Bending your arm, pick up heavy objects ect. The involuntary muscles are the ones you have no control over. For example the beating of your heart, inhaling and exhailing or vomitting are among some of the involuntary muscles.
What are some examples of voluntary musles?
Wiggle your fingers - now watch yourself doing that.
What are the 3 types of muscle?
voluntary muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles
How a specific voluntary movement is learned by the body?
Some of our muscles are known as voluntary this means that they will only work when we ask them to they are made up of tiny microscopic fibres that compress when they pass each other.
