Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Recognize that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements, meaning it is under conscious control.
Identify that cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is involuntary, meaning it functions without conscious control.
Note that smooth muscle is found in walls of hollow organs (like intestines and blood vessels) and is also involuntary.
Conclude that the type of muscle tissue classified as voluntary is skeletal muscle, as it is the only type under conscious control.
