Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Each has distinct characteristics and functions in the body.
Recall that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements, meaning it is consciously controlled by the nervous system.
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs such as the stomach and intestines. It is involuntary, meaning it functions without conscious control.
Cardiac muscle is found exclusively in the heart and is also involuntary, as it contracts automatically to pump blood throughout the body.
Based on this information, identify that skeletal muscle is the only muscle type under voluntary control.
