What do you mean by voluntary muscles ? Why they are also called skeletal muscles
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 4 months ago

Striated muscles are the skeletal muscles which are also known as voluntary muscles. They are called voluntary muscles because their action is under the control of the somatic nervous system and their movement can be controlled by us (Eg: Bicep muscles), unlike as in the case of involuntary muscles (Eg: cardiac muscles). The muscle fibers of striated muscles are multinucleated and cylindrical. These muscles are attached to the bones and tendons and are responsible for the movements of the skeleton. The striated muscles have longitudinal and cross striations.
