Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Each has distinct characteristics and functions in the body.
Step 2: Recall that voluntary muscle control means the muscle is consciously controlled by the nervous system, allowing intentional movement.
Step 3: Identify that skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for body movements that you can consciously control, such as walking or lifting objects.
Step 4: Recognize that cardiac muscle (found in the heart) and smooth muscle (found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels) are involuntary, meaning they operate without conscious control.
Step 5: Conclude that among the three muscle types, skeletal muscle is the only one that is voluntary and under conscious control.
