You don't have to think about it contracting to breathe, but you can also stop yourself from breathing. • (17 votes) Juan Limbo 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago. Direct link to Juan Limbo's post “I believe that the diaphr...” I believe that the diaphragm would be a mixture of both involuntary smooth muscles and voluntary skeletal muscles. Because you can exhale and inhale without thinking, that indicates the involuntary portion of the diaphragm. But when you take deep breaths, such as when you're meditating, you're conscious and aware of breathing and therefore voluntarily controlling your breaths, which leads to the skeletal muscle portion. Side note, I don't think there would be any cardiac involuntary muscles as that is just located in the heart. Hope that made sense. (19 votes) alexia.dick 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago.

Direct link to CocoWoof's post “Kinda stupid question, bu...” Kinda stupid question, but are the muscles in your butt involuntary or voluntary? The article states that voluntary muscles can be contracted voluntarily and involuntary muscles move on their own autonomously. But your butt muscles don't move at all... is there a special name for them? • (3 votes) Tybalt 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago. Direct link to Tybalt's post “The muscles in the glutes...” The muscles in the glutes are voluntary. Aside from the famous Gluteus Maximus, you also have the Gluteus Minimus, the Gluteus Medius, the Piriformis, the Superior Gemellus, and many more. While you might not notice them, these muscles play a role in moving and rotating the leg at the hip. Does this help? (8 votes) kayvonna banks 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago.

If you shoot a basket ball with your arms and hands, what do your legs have to do with it? • (5 votes) gbonello 2 years agoPosted 2 years ago.

Direct link to Addie's post “I'm fairly certain that t...” I'm fairly certain that they have. However it's also impossible to know. If certain muscles exist in the body that haven't been discovered, then we don't know that they exist in order to determine that they're undiscovered. Idk if that actually makes sense, sorry (5 votes) aeleen 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago.
