Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the types of muscle tissue. There are three main types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle, each with distinct locations and functions.
Step 2: Recall that skeletal muscle is primarily attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements.
Step 3: Recognize that cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood involuntarily.
Step 4: Identify that smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels, and it controls involuntary movements like digestion and blood flow.
Step 5: Conclude that the muscle tissue type primarily found in the walls of internal organs is smooth muscle, distinguishing it from dense regular connective tissue, which is not muscle tissue.
