Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body: cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle.
Step 2: Recall that cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and is responsible for involuntary contractions that pump blood.
Step 3: Recognize that smooth muscle is found in walls of internal organs like the intestines and blood vessels, also involuntary in function.
Step 4: Identify skeletal muscle as the muscle type primarily attached to bones via tendons, enabling voluntary movements of the body.
Step 5: Conclude that since the question asks for the muscle responsible for voluntary body movements and attached to bones, the correct muscle type is skeletal muscle.
