Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissues.
Step 2: Recognize that skeletal muscle tissue is attached to bones and is responsible for body movements that you can consciously control.
Step 3: Know that cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the heart and contracts involuntarily to pump blood.
Step 4: Understand that smooth muscle tissue is found in walls of internal organs (visceral muscle) and also contracts involuntarily to regulate functions like digestion and blood flow.
Step 5: Conclude that the only muscle tissue under voluntary (conscious) control is skeletal muscle tissue.
