Is raising your arm a voluntary or involuntary action?
Raising your arm is a voluntary movement.
Voluntary movements are those that are consciously controlled by the brain. For example, raising your arm, walking, and speaking are all voluntary movements. Involuntary movements are those that are not consciously controlled by the brain. For example, breathing, digestion, and heartbeat are all involuntary movements.
