• Skeletal muscle: It is attached to bones and is under voluntary control. We can consciously decide to move our limbs (which are moved by skeletal muscles).
• Cardiac muscle: Found only in the heart. Its contraction is involuntary (regulated by the autonomic nervous system, hormones etc., not by our conscious will).
• Smooth muscle: Lines internal organs like the digestive tract, blood vessels. Its contraction is involuntary.
