your heart beating
Voluntary muscles, or the skeletal muscles, are important for daily motions, that you want to control, such as reaching for a cup of water or walking. Involuntary muscles, which are the cardiac or smooth muscles, control functions, such as our heart beating, or digestion, all which are very essential for daily life
It's involuntary, but some do have a limited degree of control.
Medulla Oblongata is the part of the brain that connects the spinal cord and is involved especially with control of involuntary activities (as breathing and beating of the heart) essential for life.
No. Some are involuntary. For example, the beating of the heart. The nervous system's effect can be seen as an EKG.
An example of a body function not under conscious control is digestion. Digestion is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which controls the movement of food through the digestive tract and the secretion of digestive enzymes without requiring conscious thought.
Two kinds of body movement are voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary movements are consciously controlled, such as raising an arm to wave. Involuntary movements occur without conscious control, like the beating of the heart.
Involuntary actions include reflexes, such as blinking or sneezing, and autonomous processes like heartbeat or digestion. Voluntary actions, on the other hand, involve conscious control, like walking or speaking.

Rhythmic activities are those that are cadenced and rhythmical, such as dancing to music.
Involuntary muscles perform the work of internal organs. In the case of the digestive tract, peristaltic muscles are smooth muscle that surrounds the intestines; the heart uses cardiac muscle, a special kind of striated muscle.
The muscle responsible for moving food through the digestive system is the smooth muscle found in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. The heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscle which is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
