Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voluntary movement relies upon conscious thought and striated muscle. Conscious thought is necessary to initiate and control the movement, and striated muscle is responsible for executing the movement. Smooth muscle is not under conscious control and is responsible for involuntary movements such as those in the digestive system. Cardiac muscle is also not under conscious control and is responsible for the contraction of the heart.
