Voluntary muscles are those muscles which are controlled by the will of an individual i.e. controlled by the individual's brain.
The person can take decision on the movement of the muscle.
Hence the movement of the skeletal muscle is decided by our own will hence being a voluntary muscle.
A muscle that contracts without conscious control and found in walls of internal organs such as stomach and intestine and bladder and blood vessels (excluding the heart) smooth muscle are called involuntary muscle.
One very important involuntary muscle is your heart, which keeps beating all day and night. Other involuntary muscles help digest food and are found in your stomach and intestines.
