Answer:

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.

Skeletal muscle (also called striated muscle - although cardiac muscle is also striated) is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.

Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and its contraction makes possible locomotion, facial expressions, posture, and other voluntary movements of the body

Cardiac muscle forms the contractile walls of the heart

Smooth muscle tissue contraction is responsible for involuntary movements in the internal organs.
