One of the three types of muscle. Widespread throughout the body, responsible for movement in the digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.
Person 1: *gets an erection*
Person 2: "Wow, your smooth muscles are really working there huh?"
Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of muscle in the body. The tissue attaches itself to bone and represents a large portion of body weight on a human body.
The contraction of these muscles is responsible for movement in the body.
Person 1: *moves their arm*
Person 2: "Damn bro that's some fine usage of your skeletal muscles"
Muscle tissue is a contractile body tissue as well as the force behind all bodily movement. It's specialized to contract or shorten forcefully and is classified under three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. The classification is according to the anatomic location and function of the muscle.
When classified by appearance, muscle can be striated (with thin parallel streaks) or nonstriated (without thin parallel streaks). When classified by function, it is voluntary (consciously controlled) or involuntary (not normally consciously controlled).
Let's go over the three types again, but further in depth:
Voluntary striated (skeletal)
Involuntary striated (cardiac)
Involuntary nonstriated (smooth)
Person 1: *existing*
Person 2: "Did you know that muscle tissue makes up a large portion of your body weight?"
Person 1: "Literally NOONE asked"
Cardiac muscle is one of the three types of muscle in your body. It is the muscle of the heart that contracts to pump blood to the rest of the body.
Person 1: *lives*
Person 2: "I guess your cardiac muscle is doing it's job, huh?"
