Text B. General types of muscle.

Muscle is a contractile form of tissue. It is one of the four tissue types, the other three are epithelium, connective tissue and nervous tissue. Scientists studied and estimated all the muscle functions. Muscle contraction moves parts of the body and substances within the body.

There are three general types of muscle. The first two are "striated"; the third type is "smooth":

Striated muscles contain sarcomeres.

Skeletal muscle (or "voluntary") is attached to the skeleton and facilitate movement. Smooth muscles (or «involuntary») are located within structures such as the intestines, throat and blood vessels.

The differences in characteristics of the smooth muscles and the striated muscles include: the fibers of the smooth muscles are not arranged regularly as those of striated muscles; smooth muscles sustain longer contraction or even near permanent whereas the striated muscles are often used for short, burst activities. The three types of muscle have significant differences, but all produce contraction and relaxation.

Exercises when recommended as means of improving motor skills, fitness and muscle strength will make the muscles strong. Muscles, connective tissue and bones are greatly influenced by different exercises. Sometimes exercises are followed by pains. When admitted to the hospital, the patients are often advised to continue their exercises.
