Explanation

Elastic bundles of tissue that perform various functions are called muscle. Muscles are responsible for producing movement in the body, maintaining posture, and generating heat. There are three types of muscles in the human body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and allow for voluntary movements. Smooth muscles are found in the walls of organs and blood vessels and function involuntarily. Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart and are responsible for its rhythmic contraction.
