Muscle Types

The video tutorial explores the three types of muscles: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscles, found in the heart, are unique for their endurance but are sensitive to oxygen deprivation. Smooth muscles, located in blood vessels and organs, contract slowly and are involuntary. Skeletal muscles, responsible for voluntary movements, are striated and work with the skeleton. All muscle tissues are composed of specialized cells, connective tissue, nerve fibers, and blood vessels.

How does smooth muscle differ from skeletal muscle in terms of control?

Explain the role of skeletal muscles in body movements.
