Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Each has distinct characteristics and control mechanisms.
Step 2: Recall that voluntary control means the muscle's movement is consciously controlled by the somatic nervous system.
Step 3: Identify that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for body movements that we can consciously control.
Step 4: Recognize that cardiac muscle, found in the heart, and smooth muscle, found in organs and blood vessels, are controlled involuntarily by the autonomic nervous system.
Step 5: Conclude that the muscle tissue primarily under voluntary control is skeletal muscle.
