2. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES
involuntary muscle - a muscle that contracts
without conscious control and found in walls of
internal organs such as stomach and intestine
and bladder and blood vessels (excluding the
heart) smooth muscle.
4. SKELETAL MUSCLE
Skeletal muscle, striated in structure and under
voluntary control, is anchored
by tendons to bone and is used to
effect skeletalmovement such as locomotion and
to maintain posture. An average adult male is
made up of 42% of skeletal muscle and an
average adult female is made up of 36% (as a
percentage of body mass). It also has striations
unlike smooth muscle.
5. SMOOTH MUSCLE & CARDIAC
MUSCLE
Smooth muscle, neither striated in structure
nor under voluntary control, is found within the
walls of organs and structures such as
the esophagus, stomach, intestines,bronchi, u
terus, urethra, bladder, blood vessels
Cardiac muscle (myocardium), found only in
the heart, is a striated muscle similar in
structure to skeletal muscle but not subject to
voluntary control.
