Answer:Skeletal muscle, Smooth muscle, Cardiac muscle –

Step-by-step explanation:

Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement.

Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries.

Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart.

Skeletal muscle moves bones and other structures. Cardiac muscle contracts the heart to pump blood. The smooth muscle tissue that forms organs like the stomach and bladder changes shape to facilitate bodily functions.
