APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three large classes of muscles. Muscles can either be skeletal, cardiac or smooth. Muscle action can be broken up into either voluntary or involuntary action.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. The 3 types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striped (striated), and are under involuntary control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscles that can be controlled at will are referred to as voluntary muscles. Those that are not under the control of the will (volition) are called involuntary muscles. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the body, there are three types of muscle: skeletal (striated), smooth, and cardiac.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which muscles are voluntary? Voluntary muscles are skeletal muscles that attach to bones and can be consciously activated to control movement. Common voluntary skeletal muscles include the biceps, triceps, lats, abdominals, glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings.
