APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle: Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles, meaning you control how and when they move and work. Nerves in your somatic nervous system send signals to make them function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cardiac muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that it exhibits rhythmic contractions and is not under voluntary control.

Detailed explanation-4: -Even when we’re asleep, many of our muscles continue to move. They are known as involuntary muscles and include those in our heart, stomach and intestine. Involuntary muscles keep our bodies functioning properly.

Detailed explanation-5: -Voluntary muscles are also often called skeletal muscles (because all of the muscles attached to the skeleton are voluntary muscles) or striated muscles (because the muscle fibers make them look striated, or stripy).
