Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle.
Step 2: Recognize that voluntary control means the muscle can be consciously controlled by the nervous system, allowing intentional movement.
Step 3: Identify that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for body movements that we consciously control, such as walking or lifting objects.
Step 4: Note that smooth muscle is found in internal organs (like the intestines and blood vessels) and operates involuntarily, meaning it functions without conscious control.
Step 5: Understand that cardiac muscle, found only in the heart, also works involuntarily to pump blood continuously without conscious effort.
