Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Understand the common properties of muscle tissue: contractility, elasticity, and excitability.
Define contractility: the ability of muscle tissue to shorten and generate force.
Define elasticity: the ability of muscle tissue to return to its original length after being stretched.
Define excitability: the ability of muscle tissue to respond to stimuli.
Recognize that voluntary control is a property specific to skeletal muscle, as it is consciously controlled, unlike cardiac and smooth muscle which are involuntary.
