How many types of muscle tissue are there in the muscular system?

Two
Three
Four
Five

The correct answer is: Three

The muscular system consists of three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control and is responsible for movement of bones and the skeleton. Cardiac muscle, found only in the heart, is specialized for involuntary contraction, allowing the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle is also involuntary and is found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels, helping with processes like digestion and regulating blood flow. Understanding these three types of muscle tissue is critical for identifying their unique structures and functions within the body.
