What are voluntary and involuntary actions? Give one example of each.
(N/A) Involuntary actions: These are actions that occur automatically without our conscious control or choice. They are essential for maintaining the internal physiological processes of the body.

Voluntary actions: These are actions that are performed consciously and are under our control. These actions allow us to respond differently to various stimuli based on our decision.
Example: Walking or picking up a book.
