Verified step by step guidance
1
Begin by understanding the different types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Recognize that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements, meaning movements that are consciously controlled.
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for involuntary contractions that pump blood throughout the body.
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs like the intestines and blood vessels, and it controls involuntary movements such as the movement of food through the digestive system.
Connective tissue is not a type of muscle tissue; it supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs in the body.
