Describe the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles?
Voluntary muscles can be controlled by our conscious thought, e.g. skeletal muscles attached to the bones are moved when we want them to move. Involuntary muscles, like those that control the beating of the heart, or in other organs of the body, do not require conscious thought to make them move. They do it automatically.
