Movements are under our conscious control describe which type of muscle?

• A. Voluntary muscle
• B. Involuntary muscle
• C. Smooth muscle
• D. Cardiac muscle

Answer: (A)

Movements under our conscious control come from voluntary muscles, also called skeletal muscles. These attach to bones and are commanded by the somatic nervous system, letting you decide to lift a hand, walk, or smile. In contrast, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle operate automatically and aren’t under conscious control, with smooth muscle found in organs and vessels and cardiac muscle in the heart. So when the description specifies conscious control of movement, the best fit is voluntary (skeletal) muscle.
