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.
