In normal individuals, there is a constant production of ketone bodies by the liver and their utilization by extrahepatic tissues. The concentration of ketone bodies in blood is maintained around 1 mg/dl. Their excretion in urine is very low and undetectable by routine urine tests (Rothera's test).
A: Examples of involuntary muscles, also known as smooth muscles, are the muscles of the urogenital tract, digestive tract, circulatory system and respiratory tract. Involuntary muscles are not controlled by the organism's will. Their actions are automatic and facilitated by the autonomic nervous system.
Here, the cardiac and smooth muscles are considered as involuntary muscles, while skeletal muscles are considered as voluntary muscles. Voluntary Muscles. Voluntary muscles are the muscles that can be controlled consciously, and are made up of cylindrical fibres. Generally, these muscles are attached to bones of the skeleton, thus called the skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are striated and are made up of multinucleate cells. Each cell is referred to as muscle fiber.
