A
Cardiac muscle
B
Skeletal muscle
C
Epithelial tissue
D
Smooth muscle
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the types of muscle tissue. There are three main types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Step 2: Identify which muscle tissues are striated. Both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle have a striated appearance due to the organized arrangement of actin and myosin filaments.
Step 3: Determine which muscle tissue is under voluntary control. Skeletal muscle is controlled voluntarily by the somatic nervous system, meaning you can consciously control its movements.
Step 4: Recognize that cardiac muscle, although striated, is involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, functioning without conscious control.
Step 5: Conclude that the muscle tissue that is both striated and under voluntary control is skeletal muscle.
