Efferences (reactions) of nervous system can be categorized in voluntary, when controlled by will, and involuntary, those not consciously controlled. Examples of reactions triggered by the volition are movements of limb, respiratory and tongue muscles. Examples of involuntary efferences are those that command peristaltic movements, heartbeat and arterial wall muscles. The skeletal striated muscles are voluntarily contracted; cardiac striated and smooth muscles are involuntarily contracted.
