# Types of Muscles and Their Functions The document describes different types of muscles and their functions in the human body. **1. Tendons:** * Tendons attach skeletal muscles to bones, enabling movement. **2. Cardiac Muscle:** * Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. **3. Arteries:** * Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. **4. Voluntary Muscles:** * Voluntary muscles respond to conscious thoughts. **5. Involuntary Muscles (Autonomic Nervous System):** * The brain automatically sends impulses along the nerves of the autonomic nervous system. **6. Skeletal Muscles (in general):** * Most muscles in the body, such as biceps and triceps, work in pairs (cells, cavities, or pairs). **7. Involuntary Muscles (in the eye):** * In the iris of the eye, two sets of involuntary muscles close the pupil. **8. Diaphragm (Involuntary Muscle):** * The diaphragm is a thin, dome-shaped sheet of muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdomen. It enables breathing.
