Why have you classified some of the action as involuntary voluntary?

Actions that one can control are governed by the peripheral nervous system and are called voluntary actions. As I am typing this, I am very much in control over the way my fingers move. This is called a voluntary action and as I mentioned before, is under the control of the peripheral nervous system.
Actions that an individual cannot control such as the beating of the heart, peristaltic action and reflexes are under the control of the central nervous system and are called involuntary actions.

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.
Are eyelids voluntary or involuntary muscles?
Both - When you blink you don't usually do it on purpose but when you wink you do it on purpose. So that equals both, involuntary and voluntary. But technically involuntary muscles are muscles you have no control over, such as in your heart and intestines. I'd say this is something more voluntary, but I'm not 100% sure. I think there was also the issue that some muscles are neither voluntary or involuntary, but rather just something else (it would be like how we have the general labels proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates but there are other types that are less broad and encompass less things); this would be in the same groups as muscles like your diaphragm. I'm still not sure about any of this though...
