Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Step 2: Recognize that voluntary muscle tissue is controlled consciously by the nervous system, meaning you can decide when to move it.
Step 3: Identify that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for body movements that you can control, such as walking or lifting objects.
Step 4: Note that cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and operates involuntarily, meaning it contracts without conscious control.
Step 5: Understand that smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs (like the intestines and blood vessels) and also functions involuntarily.
