Which of the following is an example of a voluntary muscle tissue in the human body?
A
Smooth muscle (walls of the intestines)
B
Smooth muscle (walls of blood vessels)
C
Cardiac muscle (myocardium)
D
Skeletal muscle (e.g., biceps brachii)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.
Recall that voluntary muscle tissue is controlled consciously by the nervous system, allowing intentional movement.
Identify that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements, such as moving the biceps brachii.
Recognize that smooth muscle, found in the walls of intestines and blood vessels, is involuntary and controlled automatically by the autonomic nervous system.
Know that cardiac muscle, found in the heart (myocardium), is also involuntary and specialized for continuous rhythmic contractions.
