Since continuous blood flow is necessary to keep us alive, if the cardiac muscles were NOT controlled by the autonomic nervous system, we would die as soon as we fell asleep and quit thinking about making the muscle move.

The three kinds of muscles are the smooth, cardiac and the skeletal. The smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The cardiac muscles are in the heart and the skeletal help move our bodies.
They are controlled by the autonomous nervous system.== ==
intrinsic eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system
Voluntary muscles are controlled by the skeletal muscle system, while cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary and regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under conscious control for movement, posture, and facial expressions, while cardiac muscles control the heart's contractions and smooth muscles regulate internal organ functions.
The two functional classifications of reflexes are autonomic reflexes, which regulate activities of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and somatic reflexes, which involve skeletal muscles. Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.
Skeletal muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, with motor neurons from the somatic nervous system providing the neural input for their activation. Autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.

No. Smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (like the intestinal muscles). Two skeletal muscles in the middle ear automatically respond to sound.
Of the three types of muscle, the two that are involuntary are cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
