Detailed explanation-1: -Voluntary muscles are skeletal muscles that contract and relax under conscious control. These muscles attach to bones and regulate movement of the body. Involuntary muscles, on the other hand, are not under conscious control.
Detailed explanation-2: -A voluntary muscle is a muscle that you choose to move, like those in the arms and legs, as opposed to the ones that move automatically, like the heart. Muscle is the tissue in animals that produces movement or motion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle: Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles, meaning you control how and when they move and work. Nerves in your somatic nervous system send signals to make them function.
Detailed explanation-4: -Voluntary muscles can be controlled by our conscious thought, e.g. the muscles in our hands as we catch a ball. Bending of an arm. Involuntary muscles, like those that control the beating of the heart, do not require conscious thought to make them move even though their action is still controlled by the nervous system.
Detailed explanation-5: -Skeletal muscles are under our conscious control, which is why they are also known as voluntary muscles. Another term is striated muscles, since the tissue looks striped when viewed under a microscope.
