APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth muscle, found in the walls of the hollow internal organs such as blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, and uterus, is under control of the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle cannot be controlled consciously and thus acts involuntarily.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Together, skeletal muscles and bones are called the musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system).

Detailed explanation-3: -Smooth muscle and Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles which are found in organs where voluntary movement is impossible, like the alimentary canal or the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Tendons connect the skeletal system to the muscular system by attaching muscle to bone. When muscle contracts, the tendon acts on the bone, causing movement.
