Compare and contrast voluntary and involuntary muscles?

Involuntary muscles are muscles that you can't control. Such as the internal muscles. Involuntary muscles are the muscles that work by themselves without you personally doing anything to work them. Voluntary muscles are the muscles that you're in control with. An example of voluntary muscles would be when you sit down, or when you turn a page in a book. Voluntary muscles are muscles that you can control easier by yourself than with lots of help from your other muscles like you would need for your involuntary muscles. In short, the differences between the two are the fact that involuntary muscles are controlled without your help, and voluntary muscles work with your help because they are easier to work.

What is the disease called pika?

I know that pica is caused by some sort of mineral deficiency in a persons body and its usually the lack of iron. Often the substance eaten by someone with pica contains the mineral in which that individual is deficient. Mental health conditions, such as OCD and schizophrenia sometimes cause pica. It has also been mentioned that maybe stress that is associated with traumatic events can lead to pica disorder. The traumatic events I'm referring to is parental separation, child abuse, or maternal deprivation.
