Expert Solution

Step 1

A system of organs made up of muscle tissue is called the muscular system. Muscle tissue comes in three different forms. The capacity to contract is a feature that all three categories have in common. To move the components of the body, only skeletal muscles may contract voluntarily. The autonomic nervous system regulates the smooth and cardiac muscles, which contract automatically. The study of the mechanism underlying muscle contraction is done by the field of physiology known as "muscle physiology."
