Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the classification of muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is a specialized tissue responsible for movement and is categorized based on structure and function.

Step 2: Learn the three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. These are universally recognized in Anatomy & Physiology as the primary muscle types.

Step 3: Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, meaning it is under conscious control and has a striped appearance under a microscope. It is attached to bones and facilitates movement.

Step 4: Cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated, found exclusively in the heart. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body and has unique intercalated discs for synchronized contractions.

Step 5: Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated, found in the walls of hollow organs like the intestines, blood vessels, and bladder. It helps move substances through these organs via contractions.
