Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Recall that skeletal muscle is voluntary and attached to bones, responsible for movement.
Recognize that cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and is involuntary with striations.
Know that visceral muscle refers to muscle found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, which is involuntary and non-striated.
Conclude that visceral muscle is another name for smooth muscle, as it controls involuntary movements in internal organs.
