(3) TISSUES Class 9 th Science They are involved in producing force and generating motion, either for the locomotion or for other body movements within internal organs. There are three types of muscle tissue: • Skeletal Muscle – they are typically attached to bones • Cardiac Muscle – found in the heart. • Visceral or Smooth Muscle – they are found in the inner walls of organs. Functions of Muscle Tissue Muscle tissues are associated with their movements including walking, running, lifting, chewing, picking and dropping objects, etc. The other major functions of muscle tissue in the body are: • Helps in maintaining an erect position, or posture. • Helps in the constriction of organs and blood vessels. • Involved in both voluntary and involuntary movements. • Involved in pumping blood and regulating the flow of blood in arteries. • Controls respiration by automatically driving the movement of air both into and out of our body.
