Which muscles respond to conscious commands?

  1. Involuntary

  2. Non-striated

  3. Voluntary

  4. Automatic

The correct answer is: Voluntary

Voluntary muscles, also known as skeletal muscles, respond to conscious commands. These muscles are attached to bones and are specifically designed to allow for movement. Therefore, they are the only option that makes sense as muscles that respond to conscious commands. The other options, such as involuntary muscles, non-striated muscles, and automatic muscles, do not require conscious commands to function and are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
