There is voluntary control of the bladder but it is a learned behavior that requires a certain level of development. The odd aspect is that the release of the sphincter to release the urine is what is learned.

∙ 13y agoWell, it's been used in many practices and Martial Arts especially to "breath using your diaphragm", so I would think so. You are also supposed to sing with your diaphragm, but I have no idea how that works.

∙ 11y agoYes and no. It is our main breathing muscle and being a skeletal muscle we can voluntarily make it contract or relax such as when we inhale or exhale deeper than we normally would. At the same time, because of the importance of breathing even when we're unconscious, the rate and depth of our breathing is subject to chemical control. In other words, when carbon dioxide builds up in our blood such as when we hold our breath, the acidity of our blood increases overriding our voluntary control prompting us to take a breath whether we want to or not. So in the final analysis it would be most accurate to say that while we have a measure of voluntary control over our diaphragm it is only temporary at best and involuntary chemical control will supersede our voluntary control.

Are eyes voluntary or involuntary MUSCLES?
both voluntary and involuntary why voluntary? because we can flap our eye lids as per our wish. why involuntary? because if anything is coming straight to our eye our eyes automatically get closed.
Does the diaphragm deal with inspiration or expiration?
The diaphragm regulates respiration - so both inhalation and exhalation. I reccomend this nt be placed in radiology as it is at the time of this writing.
How do the ribs and diaphragm move to aide inspiration?
Respiration is a process which involves taking in of oxygen through inhalation to supply to the tissues and release of carbon di oxide through exhalation from tissues to the atmosphere. During inhalation the rib cabe expands by moving out. The diaphragm moves down. These two process occur simultaneously to increase the air holding capacity of the lungs by expanding the alveolar cells of lungs.
What is an example of not voluntary or under conscious control?
your heart beating is involuntary.You cant make it move like you can your arms or legs. Also a reflex, such as the knee-jerk reflex. Both examples are part of the autonomic nervous system.
Role of the diaphragm in inspiration and expiration?
Normal inspiration and expiration is directly related to contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm. This is involuntary act, normally.
How are diaphragm muscle both voluntary and involuntary?
It is an involuntary muscle. You do not have to think about breathing, it's automatic.
The only muscle that possesses both voluntary and involuntary abilities are?
The Diaphragm
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.
Can a muscle be involuntary and voluntary?
a muscle can be both involuntary or voluntary.the muscles which are under our control are said to known as voluntary muscle.e.g. biceps,triceps.the muscle which are not in our control are called involuntary muscles.e.g.muscle in our internal organs
Is the diaphragm muscle skeletal muscle?
The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. It is innervated by the phrenic nerve. The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration, with diaphragmatic contraction responsible for 75% of the air movement in a normal breath at rest. Respiratory control is both voluntary and involuntary. Because of the involuntary control, the diaphragm is commonly mistaken to be made up of smooth muscle, but this is incorrect. The brain's involuntary respiratory centers regulate the activity of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles in response to sensory information (very much like an involuntary reflex arc). These involuntary centers are housed in the brainstem. The cerebral cortex controls voluntary breathing, which also affects the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. For forced inhalation or exhalation, additional skeletal muscles (e.g., pectoralis minor, scalenes, sternocleidomastoid) may also be involved.
Do you control the muscular system or does it function without knowledge?
You have both an involuntary and a voluntary muscular system.
Are eyes voluntary or involuntary MUSCLES?
both voluntary and involuntary why voluntary? because we can flap our eye lids as per our wish. why involuntary? because if anything is coming straight to our eye our eyes automatically get closed.
Which muscle tissue can be both voluntary and involuntary use an example?
Which muscle tissue can be both voluntary and involuntary use an example?
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...
Is cardiac involuntary?
Yes. If you try with all your mental capabilities, can you make your heart stop? Can you just tell your heart..."hey, speed up". If you cannot do this it is involuntary. A voluntary action is something you can control and is something that you mean to do. Blinking of the eyelids is both voluntary and involuntary.
What is the difference between a voluntary muscle and an involuntary muscle?
A voluntary muscle is one you must consciously choose to move, such as when pointing your finger or picking up a glass. An involuntary muscle is one that moves without you choosing to move it, such as heart muscle, and muscles involved in reflexes such as eye blinking.The difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles is (involuntary muscle)when you move without you choosing to move it and (voluntary muscle) that is when you can choose a muscle to move with.Voluntary muscles are consciously moved. Involuntary muscles are not consciously moved, smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are examples of involuntary muscles. When a muscle is both voluntary and involuntary it is considered voluntary.
What type of muscle tissue is diaphragm?
These include the skeletal muscles which are under voluntary control and are made of striated muscle tissue, the visceral muscles which are under involuntary control and are made of smooth muscle tissue, and cardiac muscle tissue which is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle tissue has properties in common with each of the other two types. Sierra Q
