Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the different types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Recognize that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements, meaning you can consciously control these muscles.
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is involuntary, meaning it functions without conscious control to pump blood throughout the body.
Smooth muscle is also involuntary and is found in walls of hollow organs like the intestines and blood vessels, helping to move substances through the body.
Conclude that the type of muscle tissue that is voluntary is skeletal muscle, as it is the only type that can be consciously controlled.
