This can be answered on several different levels, but let me take the simpliest.
Major types of muscles:
- Skeletal - associated with bones - see more info below.
- Cardiac - muscle of the heart specializing in electrical communication
- Viseral or Smooth - lines all tubes and has the movement called peristalsis
- Hinge Joint - movement is extension or flexion
- Condyloid Joint - movement is pronation or supination
- Ball & Socket Joint - abduction & adduction are the first of many movements.
- Pivot Joint - movement is rotation
- And the list goes on. . . .

What muscles do muscle cells form?
Muscle cells form all three types of muscle tissue.
What are some different types of muscles?
There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.
What kind of muscle can you consciously contro smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
There are three types of muscles. Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are the only ones you can voluntarily control.
These muscles are controlled by the nervous system?
All muscles, all three types; skeletal muscle that moves your body, smooth muscle of the internal organs, and cardiac muscle of the heart.
What muscles are straighted?
There are three types of muscle tissue: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Smooth muscle lines the walls of hollow organs and are involuntary. Skeletal muscles are attached to the skeleton and its main function is voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Both skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue is striated, smooth is not.
What are three types of muscles and their function?
- Skeletal muscle / voluntary (ex.: Brachialis muscle) - Smooth muscle / involuntary (ex.: The three layers of muscles around the stomach) - Cardiac muscle / involuntary (i.e. the myocardium)
Where are the 3 types of muscle types found?
Cardiac muscle- found in the heart Smooth muscle-compose hollow internal structures, such as blood vessels and organs, such as the stomach Skeletal muscles-These are the muscles attached to the bones,
