voluntary muscle
Consciously controlled tissue
Voluntary muscle is muscle tissue that operates under conscious control—the muscles you deliberately contract to move your body.
These are the skeletal muscles attached to bones: biceps, quadriceps, the muscles that move your fingers.
Distinguished from involuntary muscles like the heart and digestive tract, which function without conscious direction.
