Voluntary Muscles can contract or pull but, they cannot push.
When they are finished pulling and are relaxed, their antagonists on the other side of the couple must pull the joint back.

∙ 13y agoBecause muscles can just contract and relax . So if a muscle contracts , it can't come back to it's original position itself . There has to be another pair which when contracts , relaxes the first muscle . They are then called Antagonistic Muscles . ( like the biceps and triceps ) .

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.
