Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Step 2: Recall that skeletal muscle is primarily under voluntary control, meaning we can consciously move these muscles.
Step 3: Recognize that cardiac muscle, found in the heart, contracts involuntarily to pump blood without conscious effort.
Step 4: Know that smooth muscle, found in walls of internal organs like the intestines and blood vessels, also contracts involuntarily to regulate functions such as digestion and blood flow.
Step 5: Conclude that the muscle tissues primarily involuntary are cardiac and smooth muscle, as they operate without conscious control.
