Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the three types of muscle tissue found in the human body. Muscle tissue is specialized for contraction and includes skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.

Step 2: Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, meaning it has a striped appearance under a microscope. It is responsible for movement of the skeleton and is controlled consciously.

Step 3: Cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated. It is found exclusively in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. It has unique intercalated discs that allow for synchronized contraction.

Step 4: Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated. It is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines, blood vessels, and bladder, and it helps move substances through these structures.

Step 5: Eliminate incorrect options by identifying tissues that are not muscle types (e.g., adipose, epithelial, nervous, connective) and confirm that the correct answer is skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
