3 Types of Muscular Tisssues
Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth
Contraction of skeletal muscles are under voluntary control. For locomotion.
Skeletal Muscular tissues
Attached to bones through tendons. Responsible for the movement of most body parts.
Skeletal Muscular Tissues
Found in the walls of the heart. Contraction of cardiac muscles causes the heart to beat w/c pumps blood.
Cardiac Muscular Tissues
Its contraction is involuntarily controlled.
Cardiac muscles
Spindle-shaped muscles that are involuntary controlled. Are found in the walls of the stomach, intestines, urinary bladder, uterus, and blood vessels.
