Which of the following is not an involuntary action?
(a) Vomiting
(b) Salivation
(c) Heart beat
(d) Chewing
Answer: D
Solution: Involuntary actions are not under the control of a person’s will. Vomiting, salivation and heart beat are controlled by the autonomous nervous system and are therefore involuntary in nature. While chewing is a voluntary action that a person performs according to his/ her will and involves skeletal muscles which are voluntary.
