There are three types of muscle tissue:

* Skeletal muscle: Attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement.

* Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs like the stomach and intestines, responsible for involuntary movements like digestion.

* Cardiac muscle: Found only in the heart, responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.

All three types of muscle tissue are able to contract, which means they shorten and thicken, generating force to produce movement.
