Types of Muscle

1. Skeletal Muscle

• Location: Heart
• Function: Pump blood throughout the body
• Characteristics: Striated appearance similar to skeletal muscle, but with intercalated discs that facilitate synchronized contractions

3. Smooth Muscle

• Control: Involuntary
• Location: Walls of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels
• Function: Control flow and movement in the body's systems
• Characteristics: Non-striated, smooth appearance due to different organization of actin and myosin
