Question

We have learned that there are three different muscle types (skeletal, cardiac, smooth) found in the body. Please describe each of these muscle types. Where would you find each type and how do we use them?

Answer 1

skeletal muscle: has the ability to contract and cause movement. Skeletal muscles act not only to produce movement but also to stop movement.

the Skeletal muscle is located between bones.

Cardiac muscle cells: are located in the heart

cardiac muscle:works to keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements

smooth:moves food through the digestive tract..

they are located in the walls of hollow organs like your intestines and stomach
