Voluntary Muscles Voluntary muscles are the ones that move when you want them to. You have to think in order to move these muscles. These types of muscles are those in your arms and legs that make you swing your arms and walk.

Involuntary Muscles Involuntary muscles are the ones that move all the time. You do not have to think in order to move these muscles. They move on their own. These types of muscles are those that make your heart beat, your lungs breathe, and your eyes blink.

Your Heart Your heart is the size of your fist. Can everyone make a fist for me? Your heart beats all the time. It pumps blood through tubes called arteries and veins. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. The blood drops that are going away from your heart are picking up energy and oxygen as they leave your heart and lungs.

Your Heart The blood also gets energy from the foods you eat. The veins carry the blood back to the heart. The blood drops run out of food and oxygen by the time they have gotten all the way around your body. So they have to pick up more each time around.
