Explanation
Muscles are categorized into three types: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle is found in the walls of the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of organs and is responsible for carrying out most of the involuntary processes such as digestion as well as pumping the blood through arteries. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and are responsible for voluntary movements of the body. Tendons, ligaments, and joints are not types of muscles, but rather parts of the musculoskeletal system that support and connect the muscles and bones.
