Voluntary action means an activity performed with conscious control, showing that it is conducted voluntarily with the engagement of the brain. It involves-

  1. Controlled by the brain- The cerebrum(a component of the forebrain) controls voluntary activities.
  2. Involves Skeletal Muscles - Movements are executed by striated muscles, which operate under voluntary control.
  3. Responses to External Stimuli - These activities transpire as a result of a decision rendered by the brain.
  4. Relatively slower than reflex action- Since voluntary actions involve thinking, they take more time compared to reflexes.
