Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Involuntary muscles, such as the smooth muscles in the organs and the cardiac muscles in the heart, are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, while the autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions such as heart rate, breathing, and digestion. The autonomic nervous system has two branches: the sympathetic and parasympathetic, which have opposite effects on the body.
