Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that muscle tissue in the body is classified into three main types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
2. Recall that skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, attached to bones for movement.
3. Recognize that cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and is also striated but involuntary.
4. Know that smooth muscle is involuntary, non-striated, and found in the walls of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels.
5. Identify that 'visceral muscle' is another term used specifically for smooth muscle because it is located in the viscera (internal organs).
