The Human Body: Muscles

Our body has three different types of muscles, the smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscles. The smooth muscles are involuntary muscles. Which means they functions without a conscious thought. You will find a smooth muscle inside the stomach and in other hollow organs.  Our cardiac muscle ,aka the heart, is also involuntary. It  can also can be called the myocardium . It contracts and relaxes to pump blood through the rest of your body. Last but not least the skeletal muscles in our body are voluntary muscles, that are attached to your bones by tendons. They help us to move objects and pick things up. Run and climb and even brush our teeth. Just think what our bodies would be like without muscles!! Yikes
