Which of the following is NOT one of the three main types of muscle?

• Smooth

• Cardiac

• Elastic

Which muscle type is responsible for pumping blood around the body?

• Bones move on their own without muscle help

A voluntary muscle is one that:

• Works automatically, like the heart

• Moves only in response to nerve damage

• We can control (e.g., biceps)

• Never tires out

Why is protein important for muscle health?

• It helps repair and build muscle tissue

• It replaces old blood cells

• It is stored as fat in the body

• Reading a book

• Lifting weights or doing resistance exercises

• Heart

• Walls of organs (e.g., stomach)

• Arms and legs

Which of the following helps maintain healthy muscles?

• Proper hydration, balanced diet, and regular physical activity

• Relying solely on stretching without strength training
