The muscular system in our body plays an important role in producing movements The mobility of the body as a whole reflects the activity of skeletal muscles, which are responsible for locomotion. They enable us to respond to the external environment. Skeletal muscles also help us to maintain body postures. On the basis of the structure, contractile properties, and control mechanisms, the three types of muscles are striated muscles, non-striated muscles and cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscle is one of the three types of invertebrate muscles. It is an involuntary, striated, branched muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart.
