Why does a muscle contract?

We have three kinds of muscles in our bodies. They all contract for different reasons. They can be first categorized as voluntary and involuntary. The voluntary ones are the ones we can control with our conscious thought. These are also called skeletal muscles and we use them to make our bodies move.
