Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which muscles are attached to bones and provide assistance for movement?
A
skeletal
B
smooth
C
cardiac
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The body contains three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated. These are the muscles that attach to bones and control conscious movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle Skeletal muscles run from one bone to another, usually passing at least one joint. Each muscle is comprised of muscle tissue, blood vessels, nerves and tendons. Skeletal muscles are usually attached to the bone by tendons.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei.

Detailed explanation-4: -A skeletal muscle attaches to bone (or sometimes other muscles or tissues) at two or more places. If the place is a bone that remains immobile for an action, the attachment is called an origin. If the place is on the bone that moves during the action, the attachment is called an insertion.
