Types of Tissue Part 3: Muscle Tissue

The video tutorial explores the three types of muscles in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. It explains their structures, functions, and how they contribute to movement and bodily functions. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control and help with movement and posture. Cardiac muscles, found in the heart, contract involuntarily to pump blood. Smooth muscles, located in various organs, regulate functions like blood pressure and digestion. The tutorial highlights the similarities and differences among these muscle types.
