Voluntary muscles are controlled by the skeletal muscle system, while cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary and regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under conscious control for movement, posture, and facial expressions, while cardiac muscles control the heart's contractions and smooth muscles regulate internal organ functions.
