There are three primary types of muscles in the human body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles are the ones we use to move our bodies, like when we walk or pick up something heavy. Smooth muscles are found in our internal organs, such as the stomach and intestines, helping them to contract and relax as needed to perform their functions. Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart and are responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Each type of muscle plays a crucial role in maintaining our health and keeping us active.
