How do the different types of muscle tissues in the human body function and what are their main characteristics?

Answer 1

Amanda Carter

There are three types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscles are voluntary, striated, and control body movement. Cardiac muscles are involuntary, striated, and found in the heart, enabling pumping action. Smooth muscles are involuntary, non-striated, and control internal organs’ movements like digestion and blood flow.
