Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the characteristics of muscle tissue types. There are three main types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Step 2: Recall that 'striated' muscle tissue has a banded appearance under a microscope due to the organized arrangement of actin and myosin filaments.
Step 3: Identify which muscle types are striated. Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated, while smooth muscle is not.
Step 4: Consider voluntary control. Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, meaning you can consciously control its movements. Cardiac muscle and smooth muscle are involuntary.
Step 5: Conclude that the muscle type that is both striated and under voluntary control is skeletal muscle.
