There are three types of muscle tissue found in our muscles.

• Skeletal muscle tissue is what we usually think of when we think of muscles.
  • This tissue is made of long fibers.
  • They are attached to bones or tendons.
  • Many of these are voluntary^*, but some are involuntary^*.
• Caridiac muscle tissue is found in the heart.
  • These muscles are attached to other muscles instead of bones and tendons.
  • These muscles are involuntary.
• Smooth muscle tissue is found in our organs.
  • These muscles are involuntary.
  • They are also found in blood vessels.
