Detailed explanation-1: -Involuntary: Done other than in accordance with the conscious will of the individual. The opposite of voluntary. The terms “voluntary” and “involuntary” apply to the human nervous system and its control over muscles. The nervous system is divided into two parts–somatic and autonomic.
Detailed explanation-2: -Voluntary muscles are those whose movement can be controlled at will or conscious control, while involuntary muscles are those whose movement can not be controlled at will or without conscious control or that work involuntarily, i.e., automatic. Involuntary muscles include smooth muscles and cardiac muscles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some functions are involuntarily performed, such as breathing, digestion, heart beating, eye reflexes, etc., but some involuntary actions have voluntary control to a certain extent – examples are breathing, salivation, deglutition (swallowing), defecation, micturition (urination) and others.
