1. Skeletal Muscle: Skeletal muscles are responsible for movement and are attached to the bones of the skeleton. They are voluntary muscles, which means they can be controlled consciously. They are made up of long, thin fibers that are stimulated by the nervous system to contract and relax.
2. Smooth Muscle: Smooth muscle is found in the walls of the internal organs and is involuntary, meaning it cannot be consciously controlled. It is made up of shorter, thicker fibers that contract and relax in response to hormones and signals from the nervous system.
3. Cardiac Muscle: Cardiac muscle is found in the walls of the heart and is also involuntary. It is made up of shorter, thicker fibers that contract and relax in order to pump blood throughout the body.
