While most of us are unaware of our heart beat which is under control of the "autonomic" part of our nervous system, some people can learn to control the heartbeat. For instance rifle marksmen can stop their hearts for a time while they shoot so as not to shake the gun.

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.
