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 skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for body movements that are consciously controlled, meaning they are voluntary.
Step 3: Note that smooth muscle is found in walls of internal organs (like intestines and blood vessels) and operates involuntarily, without conscious control.
Step 4: Understand that cardiac muscle (also called myocardial muscle) is found only in the heart and contracts involuntarily to pump blood.
Step 5: Conclude that the muscle tissue primarily under voluntary (conscious) control is skeletal muscle.
