Muscle TypesThere are 3 types of muscle tissues 1. Visceral Muscle 2. Cardiac Muscle 3 Skeletal Muscle - The Visceral Muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach intestines,

and blood vessels. The weakest of all muscle tissue visceral muscle makes organs contract to move substances through the organ

- Cardiac Muscle. Found only in the heart, cardiac muscle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle tissue cannot be controlled consciously, so it is an involuntary muscle.

- Skeletal Muscle. Skeletal muscle is the only voluntary muscle tissue in the human body—it is controlled consciously. Every physical action that a person consciously performs (e.g. speaking, walking, or writing) requires skeletal muscle.

Functions of the muscular system

muscles hold the body erect and make movement possible muscle movement generates nearly 85% of the heat that keeps the body warmmuscles move food through the digestive system
