Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscle control: Voluntary muscles are consciously controlled by the nervous system, while involuntary muscles operate without conscious control.
Recall the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Identify which muscle types are under voluntary control: Skeletal muscle is the only type under voluntary control, meaning you can consciously move these muscles.
Recognize that cardiac muscle (found in the heart) and smooth muscle (found in walls of internal organs like the intestines and blood vessels) are controlled involuntarily by the autonomic nervous system.
Conclude that the muscle tissues under involuntary control are cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
