Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Human breathing is a unique motor act. Humans can breathe automatically (automatic breathing), e.g., during sleep, whereas breathing can be controlled voluntarily when needed (voluntary breathing), such as singing and speech.

Detailed explanation-3: -Actions which take place without consciousness or willingness of an individual are called the involuntary action. Digestion, heart beating, sneezing, etc are few examples of involuntary actions. Both involuntary and voluntary actions are controlled by the same parts of the brain.
