What the difference between a voluntary and involuntary muscle?

Answer 1

Involuntary action :-

A reflex action is an involuntary action, like sneezing , blinking or coughing , which takes place without conscious thought.

Voluntary action :-

A voluntary action like speaking,walking or running, takes place by our own will.

Answer 2

Voluntary means doing something because you want to do it. Involuntary means doing something that you can not prevent or stop doing. This terminology is often used in describing muscles to differentiate between muscles you can move like those used in walking and ones that move on their own like those used for breathing.

Answer 3

Voluntary unemployment arises when people willingly do not want o work at the existing wage rate whereas involuntary unemployment arises when people who are able and willing to work at existing wage rate, do not find employment. Voluntary unemployment is not considered as a serious problem whereas it gives rise to serious economic and social problem.

Answer 4

A voluntary muscle is under your conscious control, which means that when you want it to move or stay still, you can make it do that. It is intentional motion. Your body does not control it on its own without you making that decision. For example, when you want to talk, you make your vocal cords sound/speak. You made that happen. You chose when it occurred. The hand muscles are another voluntary muscle, because it responds to the actions/orders given by the conscious brain. Same with all voluntary muscles.

An involuntary muscle is NOT under your conscious control, which means your body controls it without you giving it the order/action or without you telling it to. You do not get to choose when or when its not working. For example, your heart beats all of the time without you choosing or telling it to beat. Also, your digestive system works when it needs to without you giving it the instruction to do so.

Answer 5

Voluntary means it is under conscious control and involuntary is not under conscious control.

Answer 6

Voluntary is something you choose to do (such as waving) and involuntary is something that happens automatically (such as the beating of your heart).

Answer 7

Voluntary = can control muscle moving (ex: flex knee)

Involuntary = can't control it (ex: intestine-you can't tell your intestine to digest your food)

Answer 8

Voluntary muscles are under conscious control, such as skeletal muscles used for movement. Involuntary muscles, like smooth muscles in internal organs, work without conscious control.
