Study Notes
- There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Skeletal Muscle
- Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and facilitate movement via tendons.
- Tendons are connective tissues that link muscles to bones.
- Skeletal muscle is striated, exhibiting a banded appearance.
- Control of skeletal muscle is voluntary.
Smooth Muscle
- Smooth muscle is located inside numerous internal organs, such as the stomach.
- Its actions are involuntary.
Cardiac Muscle
- Cardiac muscle is exclusively found in the heart.
- Cardiac muscle contractions are involuntary.
- Unlike skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle does not fatigue.
