When you exercise, nerves of the autonomic nervous system cause an increase in your heart rate in order to deliver more blood to the active tissues. When you relax or sleep, the autonomic nervous system lowers your heart rate.

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.

How are voluntary and involuntary muscles different?

Voluntary muscles chose to be moved and your will. For example your pectoral muscles and or your biceps. You can flex them and move them to your control by giving in nerve signals from your brain to that muscle. Involuntary muscles have automatic neurological control. Example would be the heart, you don't think about it but it still beats, and if you do exercise your brain automatically tells your heart to beat faster to pump more blood into your body.
