The 3 main types of Muscles

Skeletal Muscle: Skeletal muscles are muscles connected to the skeletal system to help make movement possible. Skeletal muscle allows voluntary muscles- which means it only moves when you tell it too.. YOU ARE IN CONTROL.

2. Smooth Muscle: This type of muscle is found in your internal organs; the liver, stomach, kidney, heart, etc. The contractile fibers are NOT highly ordered.
