Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The similarities and dissimilarities among the three types of muscle tissues.

Introduction:

The structured system of cells, tissues, and organ systems that make up the human body work in unison to perform various functions. Muscles' primary purposes involve joining with bones or tendons. They maintain homeostasis by ensuring smooth movement of the body's tissues and organs, heartbeat, digestion of food, blood flow, and excretion. There are three different types of muscle tissues in the body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. While their striated shapes are similar, their locations and functions—both voluntary and involuntary—differ.
