Question Answer Mark Mark

11 (a) Able to state the differences between voluntary
action and involuntary action

Voluntary action Involuntary action

Controlled by cerebrum
Responses can be controlled
by the will
Responses can be delayed /
made faster
Responses are not automatic
Impulses transmitted from
receptor to effectors via
cerebrum
Controlled by medulla 1
oblongata
Responses cannot be
controlled by the will 1
Responses are rapid / instant
