Which muscle type is voluntary and attached to bones?

• A. Cardiac
• B. Smooth
• C. Cardiac and Smooth
• D. Skeletal

Answer: (D)

Voluntary control and attachment to bones describe skeletal muscles. They connect to bones via tendons and, when they contract, move the skeleton at the joints under conscious control. Cardiac muscle forms the heart and works involuntarily, while smooth muscle lines hollow organs and vessels and also acts involuntarily. So the muscle type that is both voluntary and attached to bones is skeletal muscle.
