What are the three types of muscle tissue found in vertebrates?

  1. Smooth, skeletal and cardiac

  2. Skeletal, cardiac and striated

  3. Cardiac, smooth and connective

  4. Striated, smooth and voluntary

The correct answer is: Smooth, skeletal and cardiac

The three types of muscle tissue found in vertebrates are smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Smooth muscle is involuntary, non-striated, and primarily found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and blood vessels. Skeletal muscle is striated and under voluntary control, playing a crucial role in body movements and is attached to bones. Cardiac muscle, also striated, is found exclusively in the heart and operates involuntarily, ensuring the heart pumps blood throughout the body. Each type of muscle tissue has distinct structural and functional properties that align with its specific role in the vertebrate body, making this classification important for understanding muscle function and physiology.
