7. Differentiate voluntary action and involuntary action.
Voluntary action
The actions are controlled by cerebrum
The actions are not automatic / there is
awareness in the action
The speed of response can be slow or fast
Examples of voluntary actions are writing,
walking, dancing

Prepared by: Ms.Nirmala

Involuntary action
The actions are controlled by medulla
oblongata
The action is automatic
The speed of response is fast as the action
do not involve thinking
Examples of involuntary actions are
breathing, peristalsis, dilation and
constriction of pupil
